Timeline
15:36
Grab a craft ale at 406 Brewing. The brewery is open from 12:00 to 20:00, so you have plenty of time to settle in before heading out. The rotating selection of British and American ales is a perfect way to start the evening.
16:06
Walk south to Beall Park. It is only a short 16-minute stroll from the brewery. Find a spot on the grass with a clear view toward the west-southwest. The park is open and unobstructed, giving you space to wait for the light to change.
17:06
The Bozeman Roundup Ranch Rodeo
The sun sets at 17:06, casting a WSW glow over The Bozeman Roundup Ranch Rodeo. Even if no events are running, the arena structure and surrounding landscape catch the final golden light beautifully. This is the moment to watch the day end.
17:51
Head to Devil's Toboggan for a late dinner. It is just a 6-minute walk from the viewing area. The restaurant is open until 23:00 on weekdays, offering a warm place to finish the night with a meal after the chill of the evening sets in.
Local tip
Check the route from Beall Park to the Rodeo grounds if you want to see the arena up close. The walk is short but the lighting changes quickly once the sun dips below the horizon.
