What makes a good sunset in Squamish?

Squamish sits at the head of Howe Sound where the mountains meet the ocean, giving you a combination of fjord water, granite walls, and open sky that few places on the Sea to Sky corridor can match. The Squamish Estuary faces southwest, which is the right direction for catching color as the sun drops. The Stawamus Chief looms to the east and catches alpenglow late. Post-frontal clearings after a Pacific system blows through produce the sharpest conditions on this stretch of coast.

What time is sunset in Squamish tonight?
