Arrive at Finch Arboretum and find a quiet spot on the nature trail. The park is free and open before dawn, giving you time to settle in before the sky changes.
07:33
Watch the sunrise. On mid-January mornings the sun rises at 07:33, casting a soft glow over the 2,000 trees and shrubs.
08:03
Walk to The Elk Public House for a warm drink or breakfast. The outdoor seating in the historic Brownes Addition is a cozy place to warm up after the cold morning air.
Local tip
The walk from the arboretum to the restaurant is short, but the morning air near Sunset Blvd can be brisk. Bring a layer.
