    Watch the sun set toward the NW. The golden light starts about an hour before, but the moment itself is brief. The forest provides a natural frame for the fading light over the lake.

    Stay for the twilight glow as the forest deepens in color. There is no specific place to end up, so use this time to walk back toward the bus stop or find a quiet bench to finish your drink.
