All about the light - the setting and two of the 7 wanderers in an embrace.  Best view is after 9p, so be prepared to be at the summit for an hour and to descent in the dark.

Sunset is at 8:29 and will disappear behind the mountains prior to that.  A good pace will have us there by 8:15, but 8:30 will be fine.  Assume we stay till 9:30, so back at the cars 10:30, nlt 11p

1930 start to hike so arrive early Green Mountain West TH

We have a date with the Sun and Planets and they do not wait for anyone.  Sunset is at 8:29 and will disappear behind the mountains prior to that.  A good pace will have us there by 8:15.
