Is the sunrise a better bet than the sunset as far as clarity? Our trip is in December. We have rental cars and might want to drive ourselves. Is there any way to check the weather in advance and determine if the weather will allow for good viewing?
A:
Your best odds for viewing are the sunrise. But the weather conditions change quickly. You just sort of have to wing it. Enjoy the adventure.
How long does it take to drive from theSummit park entrance to the final viewing point?
