The next total solar eclipse across North America will come next year, but coming this October will be a annular solar eclipse.

It will be on a path through the Four Corners, including Monument Valley Tribal Park. I don't have to go there to see it. It will cross Jamestown, New Mexico.

According to Space.com:

Are you organized for the rare annular solar eclipse on Oct. 14, 2023? 

Although a partial solar eclipse that day will be visible across North, Central and South America, the 'ring of fire' around the moon will only be observable from a narrow path across Earth's surface. 

In the U.S. that path runs through eight states in the U.S. Southwest from Oregon to Texas, according to NASA, but it will pay to get clued-up and organized well in advance.

From the above map, Gallup/Jamestown, New Mexico area will be smack dab in the path of the "Ring of Fire" effect.
