Big crowds are expected in the Adirondacks, the White Mountains of New Hampshire, the Green Mountains of Vermont and in remote parts of Maine for the total solar eclipse on April 8. Backcountry experts say caution is warranted. Stay off of remote mountain trails on the day of the eclipse. Across the Northeast, outdoor groups and state officials are urging people to watch from places that don't put you at risk.
