sunset hike

Dusk trail walk

A sunset hike is a walk taken in natural terrain timed to coincide with the sun going down.

The appeal combines physical activity with the visual spectacle of fading light: We did a sunset hike up the canyon and watched the sky turn orange.

The term implies planning around the hour rather than hiking that merely happens to continue past dusk.
