Timeline
19:44
Grab a snack and a cold drink at the park’s official gift shop. It is open late in July, so you can pick up something to eat while you wait for the light to change.
20:14
Walk to the Tour d'observation. This viewpoint is close enough to the anchor to keep the rock in sight as you settle in. The walk is short, so you have time to find a good spot on the railing.
21:14
Watch the sun set toward the NW. The golden light starts about 48 minutes before this moment, so the sky will be painting the rock in warm tones before the final dip.
21:44
End the evening with a drink at Pub Pit Caribou. It is open late in the season, making it a convenient place to unwind after the view.
Local tip
July is peak season. The gift shop has extended hours in August, but in July it closes at 17:00. Since sunset is at 21:14, you have plenty of time to visit before it closes, but do not wait until the last minute.
Check before you go
- Boutique Nature closes at 17:00 daily in July. Visit before then if you want to buy souvenirs.
- Pub Pit Caribou is open until 00:00 in season.
