Timeline
15:40
Grab a drink at Adobe Bar. It sits half in the hotel lobby and half on the sidewalk, welcoming passersby like a home away from home.
16:30
Walk NNE for 5 minutes to Kit Carson Park & Cemetery. Find a shaded spot among the fields and graves to wait for the light to change.
17:10
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting long shadows across the park and the historic cemetery.
17:55
Head back toward the plaza for dinner at The Gorge. The patio offers prime sunset dining views and a moderately priced menu with quality preparation.
Local tip
Kit Carson Home and Museum is closed after 4PM in winter, so focus on the outdoor park experience for this timing. The Gorge patio gets intense late afternoon sun, so the evening light is more comfortable for dining.
