Timeline
16:47
Start at the White Cliffs Wagon Trail Park. The tracks cut into the bedrock are clearly visible. Since there are no food or drink shops nearby, bring your own water and a snack to enjoy while you walk the trail. The park is open from dawn to dusk, so you have plenty of time to explore before the light fades.
17:17
Head back toward the main area of the park to position yourself for the view. The trail is popular with hikers and mountain bikers, so keep an eye on the path. Find a spot with a clear view to the west where the sun will set.
17:47
Watch the sunset. On January 15, the sun sets toward the WSW at 17:47, bathing the white cliffs and old wagon ruts in golden light. The contrast between the pale rock and the deepening sky is the highlight of the experience.
18:17
Stay for the twilight. The light fades quickly after sunset, but the park remains open. If you want to extend your evening, you can walk further along the trail while it is still light enough to see the formations clearly.
