    Cheri O's Coffee House and Ice Cream Parlor

    Grab an espresso and a hand-dipped ice cream cone at Cheri O's. The shop is open late enough to fit this in before the light fades, and it is just a one-minute walk from the anchor.

    Wiggenhorn Memorial Park

    Walk 20 minutes WNW to Wiggenhorn Memorial Park. Arrive with half an hour to spare to find a good spot. The sun sets toward the WSW, which aligns with the view from this park.

    Wiggenhorn Memorial Park

    Watch the sun dip below the horizon. The golden light begins around 16:39, giving you a warm glow before the final sunset moment at 17:21.

    Glacial Till Cider House & Tasting Room

    Head back toward the anchor area and stop at Glacial Till Cider House & Tasting Room. It is a one-minute walk away and open until 19:00 on weekdays, perfect for a post-sunset cider.
