Start with a coffee at Stereoscope Coffee. It is a 11-minute walk from Angelino Heights and opens early, giving you plenty of time to settle in before the rush.

Walk 10 minutes to Echo Park. Arrive just before the sun dips below the horizon to secure a good spot by the lake. The park faces west, offering a clear view of the sun setting toward the WSW behind the Downtown skyline.

After the light fades, take a short 9-minute walk east to Everett Park. It is a quiet green space nearby where you can stretch your legs and transition away from the main tourist area.
