Madras is located very close to the centerline of the path of totality of the Solar eclipse of August 21, 2017. Because it is located in a high desert environment and has consistently clear skies in August, it is considered a prime eclipse viewing location. All hotel and motel rooms in the area have been reserved for several years. The town is preparing for an influx of about 100,000 visitors for the eclipse.
