PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A lot of people are hitting the road ahead of Monday's solar eclipse. That means higher gas prices.

Those increases will happen along the eclipse's Path of Totality. Those are the areas where the moon will completely cover the sun.

The path runs from the northwest to the southeast and those are destinations people are flocking to view the eclipse.

Idaho and Utah have already seen big increases in the last week alone.
