Sunset will be at 7:36 p.m. Astronomical dusk ends (and maximum darkness begins) at 8:59 p.m.

The Elliott Trail automatic road gate at Marben Farm Rd. closes for incoming traffic at 7 p.m., so be prepared to enter the gate code if you arrive afterwards. The gate opens automatically for outgoing traffic as you approach it to leave.
