Walk to Hill City Howlers Baseball to find your viewing spot. The stadium offers free parking behind it, and the field provides a clear line of sight toward the WSW where Fort Early sits. Arrive early to secure a good seat in the stands or on the grass.

Watch the sunset. Between November 2 and November 8, or February 1 and February 8, the sun will set directly behind the historic fort. The moment lasts only a few minutes, so keep your eyes on the horizon.

Stay for the post-sunset atmosphere. The stadium area is quiet after the game ends, and you can enjoy the cool evening air. If the game is still in progress, you can catch the final innings or just relax in the free parking area.
