To be honest, it isn't that impressive unless you see the totality, in which case you need no glasses. Completely worth the trip out of the way if you can go see it.

Even in totality, the coolest part for me (1999 eclipse) wasn't the visuals - it was the way you could feel the cold/shadow set in during the eclipse.

Even in the totality path, you'll want the glasses for the relatively much longer duration during which the sun isn't completely obscured.
I'll be in Oregon for the eclipse! I'm pretty excited. I haven't done much preparation yet, but I was imagining that it would be quite helpful to have the glasses for the minutes leading up to totality.
