Timeline
15:10
Grab a coffee and settle in at The Park Bench. It is open from 08:00 to 19:00, so you have plenty of time to warm up before the sun dips. This is the closest café to the Cathedral at just 14 minutes away.
15:55
Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist
Walk the short distance to the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist. Arrive early enough to find a quiet spot inside or just outside. The light is still soft, but you will be in position as the golden hour begins around 15:35.
16:25
Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW at 16:25. The angle of the light will strike the Cathedral’s features beautifully in its final minutes of daylight.
17:10
End the evening at Dick's Hamburgers. It is a Spokane institution and a quick 15-minute walk from the Cathedral. Grab a classic burger to celebrate the day as the city lights come on.
Local tip
The walk between steps is short and manageable. The Park Bench is open late enough that you can linger with your coffee if the evening is chilly.
