Timeline
15:14
Start with a tasting at Silver Bear Distillery. It is a short walk from the trail access and open on Saturdays from 13:00 to 17:00. This fits perfectly before the sunset window.
15:44
Walk 28 minutes from the distillery area to Gulf Road Parking. This is the access point to the Appalachian Trail Corridor and Chalet Wildlife Management Area. You are now positioned to watch the light change.
16:44
Stand at Gulf Road Parking as the sun sets toward the WSW. The golden light from 16:00 will have already washed over the forested landscape, leading directly into the sunset moment.
17:29
End the evening with a drink or meal at Shire Tavern. It is located near the parking area and serves food from 16:30 to 21:30 on weekdays or until 24:00 on Fridays and Saturdays. This is a comfortable distance to walk after the sunset view.
