Bishop: Look East to See the Sunset
Videographer Skandar Reid shows how to watch sunsets in the Eastern Sierra… turn toward the east.
That’s because sunset light bends through the atmosphere at high elevations to create a phenomenon called alpenglow that colors high peaks to the east.
That happens in Bishop where sunsets beyond the Sierra illuminate the eastern White Mountains with their alpenglow. So, at sunset in the Eastern Sierra, look east.
The reverse happens at sunrise… look west.
