I don't know about you, but I absolutely love sunsets. Every single one is different, and every single one is beautiful in its own way. It's also such a good way to end the day. One time I was watching the sunset on the top of a parking garage in the dead of winter and it was absolutely freezing (You could say I am pretty dedicated to my sunsets). The person next to me goes, "You know, it might be freezing, but at least we always have a sunset at the end of the day." That was almost a year ago now, but it has stuck with me. Even though winter is coming and it's getting colder, there is always a positive side to things. It may be cold, but we always have sunsets!
There are plenty of places to watch the sunset in Rexburg, but I have a little secret spot that has a perfect view of the sunset! There are plenty of evergreen trees for your golden hour photoshoots, and not a lot of people know about it. It is a little bit of a drive but it is so worth it.
This place is a little hard to find since it has no official address on the map, but I will give you step-by-step instructions.
However, don't get too caught up with your phone! Make sure you take the time to appreciate the beauty. These days it is so easy to get caught up in everything and never take time to appreciate the little things in life. If you brought your friends with you, take the time to appreciate them at that very moment. In the words of Ferris Bueller, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
Another aspect of this spot that I like is how far away it is from everything. It is so quiet all you can hear is the people around you and maybe some of the cows on the farm nearby. I don't know about you, but if I don't escape Rexburg every couple of weeks, I go crazy. I don't need to drive all the way to Utah, sometimes just a sunset drive does the trick. This drive is about 30 minutes, the perfect amount of time to blast some music with your friends.
Sunsets are beautiful, and everybody should take the time to enjoy them. I hope this spot does the trick, and I hope it is worth it spilling my secret! If you want some more ideas for sunset spots, check out our other post about where to watch the sunset in Rexburg.
