Timeline
16:14
Grab a coffee and a pastry. The Little Chief is open early and close by, giving you a warm start before the chill sets in.
16:34
Walk to Garrison Square. It sits just northeast of the anchor, offering a quiet, elevated vantage point to watch the sky change color as the sun dips toward the WSW.
16:59
Stay put for sunset. The light fades quickly in January, so keep your eyes on the horizon.
17:19
Head back to Little Chief Restaurant for a full evening meal. It is still open until 21:00, making it a reliable spot for dinner after the dark sets in.
Local tip
The walk from Garrison Square back to the anchor is short, but it gets dark early in January. Bring a jacket.
