University of Wisconsin - Parkside
Start at the University of Wisconsin - Parkside. The campus is nestled inside Petrifying Springs Park, making it the perfect base for your walk. Check the website for any seasonal events or theatre performances that might be happening, though your focus is the light.
16:43
Walk 12 minutes WNW from the university to Petrifying Springs Park. Find a spot on the paved or unpaved hiking trails that face WSW. At 16:43, the sun sets in that direction, casting golden light across the trails and playgrounds. This is your moment.
Local tip
The park has both paved and unpaved trails. Wear comfortable shoes as you navigate the paths that wind up and down the hills. The view is best when the sun is low and the light is golden.
Check before you go
- There are no listed food or drink shops in the context. Plan to bring your own refreshments or check the route for nearby options.
