19:39
Start with a cold beer at Three Sixty. The bar opens at 16:00, which is just 45 minutes before sunset on July 15. It is close to the Arch, so you can walk there easily after your drink.
20:04
Walk from the bar to Gateway Arch National Park. The park itself is closed for renovation, but the Arch remains open. Use the last twenty minutes to find a good spot on the lawns or near the water to watch the sun go down.
20:24
Watch the sunset. On July 15, the sun sets at 20:24, heading toward the WNW. The sky will turn bright gold in the minutes leading up to this moment.
20:54
End your evening with a stroll through Lafayette Square and Park. It is a short walk from the Arch area. The tree-lined streets and Victorian homes are peaceful after the day's heat breaks, and it is a nice place to decompress.
