Timeline

  1. 15:39

    Wormtown Brewery

    Start with a craft beer at Wormtown Brewery. It is just a short walk from the Norcross Factory and a great way to settle in before the walk.

  2. 16:15

    Green Hill Park

    Walk 36 minutes to Green Hill Park. Head to the highest points to find your vantage point. The park is large, so take your time finding a spot with a clear view to the west.

  3. 16:39

    Green Hill Park

    Watch the sun set toward the WSW at 16:39. The golden light begins around 15:56, so you will have about 40 minutes of warm light to enjoy the view before the sun dips below the horizon.

  4. 17:09

    Femme Bar

    End the night at Femme Bar. It is open until 22:00 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, or later on weekends, making it a perfect spot for a late drink after the walk.

Local tip

Green Hill Park is 480 acres, so wear comfortable shoes. The walk from the factory is uphill, so pace yourself before the sunset view.
