We Love Winter Sunsets in Stanford!

We love the surreal effect the setting sun has on the Stanford Valley when we go on a sunset cruise along the Klein River in winter. Sometimes, there is more to watching a sunset than meets the eye, and turning away from it reveals eye candy that is just as showstopping!

 
Sunset On The Klein River In Stanford

As an alpine-like glow bathes the Stanford Valley in bright pinks, vibrant purples and inky blues, you might remind yourself that this magnificence is something that needs to happen in your life more often. 

Such is the brilliance of the Klein River Mountain range, that you could easily think you have stumbled onto the set of a J.R.Tolkien movie and are wearing 3D glasses as you make your way to and from the Klein River Estuary! This bucket-list activity is best shared with a group of friends, so pack a picnic basket with some bubbly to make the most of your late afternoon journey. 

When the sun finally dips down and is out of sight below the horizon, the air seems fresher than ever before and your senses are heightened. The quiet lull is slowly replaced by a melodic symphony of the river’s nocturnal creatures echoing greeting calls to signal the start of the evening.
