Timeline
16:25
Grab a burger and fries at Buns. The portions are big and affordable, perfect for fueling up before your walk. It is open until 22:00 on weekdays, so you have plenty of time.
16:55
Walk nine minutes to Coker Arboretum. Stroll along the beautiful vine pergola on Cameron Avenue. Arrive with half an hour to spare to find a quiet spot along the path.
17:25
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The low winter light filters through the vines, casting long shadows across the arboretum. This is the quietest time to appreciate the garden.
18:10
End the evening at He's Not Here. Walk three minutes back toward the center. The Blue Cup is a local favorite, and the courtyard offers a relaxed spot to wind down after the walk.
Local tip
The sun sets toward the WSW on 15 January. Position yourself in the arboretum with that direction in view for the best light.
