Timeline
15:02
Arrive at Peninsula State Park and drive up to the bluffs. The park is a bit of a drive from Sturgeon Bay, but the scenic vistas are worth the trip. Find a quiet spot on the Upper Peninsula shoreline side to set up your view.
16:02
Wait for the sun to dip. As the light fades, the WSW horizon glows. This is the moment to simply watch the day end over the water.
17:02
Stay for a while after the sun goes down. The twilight lingers, and the bluffs offer a peaceful end to the evening before you head back.
Local tip
The park entrance fee is $13. Make sure you have cash or card ready before you drive up.
