Timeline
16:38
Start at the Bethlehem Municipal Golf Club. It is a public course that offers a simple, affordable round or just a place to stand and watch the light change.
16:51
Walk 13 minutes east to Illick's Mill Park. This park sits along the Lehigh River and offers open space and nature trails. The sun sets toward the WSW, so the river bank here catches the final light beautifully.
16:58
Watch the sun dip below the horizon. The golden light lasts from about 16:16 until sunset at 16:58. The park provides a quiet backdrop for the evening sky.
17:43
Head back toward the Municipal Golf Club area for dinner. Since there are no listed food or drink shops in the immediate context for this specific anchor, check the route for nearby options in the city center or along the river walk before you go.
Local tip
The walk from the golf club to the park is short and flat. Bring a layer; evenings by the river can cool down quickly after the sun sets.
