Grab a slice of deep-dish pizza from Zachary's to go. The line can be long, so arriving early helps. The regular deep-dish is the local specialty.
17:53
Walk up to Indian Rock Park. This is the prime spot for the sunset view. The large rock formation offers a clear line of sight toward the WSW where the sun sets on this date.
18:46
Head back down the hill to Solano Avenue. Dine at Ajanta, an Indian restaurant known for organic and sustainable dishes. It is widely considered a world-class spot in the area. Reservations are recommended.
Local tip
The walk from the park to the restaurants on Solano Avenue is downhill, which makes it easy after the hike up. Check Ajanta’s hours for Tuesday through Sunday service.
