Timeline
17:01
Grab a coffee and a pastry at Atticus Coffee & Gifts. It is a short walk from the museum and open late enough for your pre-sunset start. The café is open until 17:00, which fits perfectly before the 18:01 sunset.
17:41
Walk from Riverfront Park to Cochinito Taqueria. This is a quick stop for a casual bite or just to soak in the atmosphere near the river. The restaurant opens at 11:00, so it is fully open for an early dinner or snack.
18:01
Head to Huntingdon Park. This spot offers a direct view of the Spokane Falls as the sun sets toward the WSW. The park is well-positioned to catch the final moments of daylight hitting the water.
18:46
End the evening at Gilded Unicorn. This basement restaurant and bar offers a speakeasy feel with brick walls and medieval decor. It opens at 15:00 on weekdays and 15:00 on weekends, providing a cozy spot to unwind after the sunset.
Local tip
The walk between Riverfront Park and Huntingdon Park is about 26 minutes. If you prefer a shorter walk, consider staying within the Riverfront Park area for your meal, but Huntingdon Park provides the best direct view of the falls for the sunset moment.
