Why Denver's Sunrise & Sunset Matters

Denver sits at 39.74°N latitude on the high plains, exactly a mile above sea level, with the Rocky Mountains forming its western horizon. Its day length swings from 9h 21m at the December solstice to 14h 59m in June. Because the city is on the western side of the Mountain Time Zone, its clock times run late: summer sunsets reach about 8:32 PM, and even mid-winter sunsets stay near 4:39 PM rather than falling earlier.

The altitude changes the quality of the light itself. Thinner, drier air at 5,280 feet scatters less blue light during the day and produces exceptionally vivid oranges and pinks at sundown, and the sun appears to set directly behind the Front Range peaks. Denver averages around 300 days of sunshine a year, so clear-sky sunsets are the norm rather than the exception.

FAQ — Denver Sunrise & Sunset

What time is sunset in Denver during summer?

Around the June solstice, sunset in Denver is about 8:32 PM MDT, with daylight lasting roughly 14h 59m. Sunsets stay after 8 PM from late May through late July.

Where is the best sunset spot in Denver?

Red Rocks Park, just west of the city, is the famous choice — the sun drops behind the foothills beyond the amphitheatre. In the city, City Park and the Museum of Nature & Science steps face the skyline against the mountains, and Lookout Mountain above Golden gives a panoramic view.

Does Denver's altitude change sunset time?

Slightly. From a mile up, the visible horizon dips a little lower, so the sun can stay visible a minute or two longer than the standard sea-level time, and elevated viewpoints west of the city can extend that further. The times here use the standard calculation for the city itself.

How short is the shortest day in Denver?

At the December solstice Denver gets about 9h 21m of daylight, with sunrise around 7:18 AM and sunset around 4:39 PM. The earliest sunsets of the year actually occur in early December, a little before the solstice.

Why are Denver sunsets so vivid?

At a mile above sea level the air is thinner and usually very dry, so the low sun's light scatters into saturated reds and oranges with little haze to mute it. Mountain-wave clouds over the Front Range often catch the colours after sunset.
