Timeline
16:08
Pick up a warm coffee and some gingerbread cookies at The Gingerbread Factory. It is open until 18:00, so you will have plenty of time before the sun goes down. The fairy-tale cafe is just a short walk from the river.
16:23
Walk down to Waterfront Park. You have 22 minutes to find a comfortable spot on the benches or the grass. Dip your feet in the Wenatchee River and keep an eye out for eagles and ospreys while you wait for the light to change.
16:38
The sun sets toward the WSW at 16:38. Watch the golden light fade from the sky as it disappears behind the western horizon. The water reflects the last colors of the day.
16:58
Head to Andreas Keller for a late dinner. It is only a four-minute walk from the park. Order traditional Bavarian fare like pork hock or schnitzels and a large pint of beer to keep warm as the evening chill sets in.
