Glimpse the annular eclipse from the Grand Canyon

Next year, those looking to have the ultimate adventure holiday can combine two truly unique experiences in one trip.

From May 2012 the path of the annular solar eclipse will pass across the Nevada desert and travellers will be able to watch this incredible event from the rim of the Grand Canyon itself.

The eclipse will be visible in various locations around the world on May 20th and 21st but those looking to combine this extraordinary event with a trip to Nevada should consider booking a trip now.

As well as being able to explore the stunning landscape of the canyon and the awesome rock formations at Bryce Canyon you will be able to enjoy spectacular views of the eclipse from Monument Valley.

This particular eclipse has a wide path and long duration, meaning it will not result in complete darkness, but as with any annular eclipse, it is still a truly unforgettable sight.

Parts of Asia and Russia will also be exposed to the eclipse.
