I read an article that said central Oregon motels are almost filled. The Madras area is one of the best locations in the country to view the eclipse.

Weatherwise, another good location is Wyoming, east of the mountains. Casper is going to be a hot-spot since the Astronomical League will be holding their convention there.

Wind River County is planning some activities. I'm planning to be in Riverton with some friends.

If you're planning to be in areas with best probability of good weather (see eclipseophile link in post), pick your location(s), then get on TripAdvisor NOW and start looking for a place to stay. There are also many campsites, but look into safety before deciding to camp or not.
