A distinctive location in New York City has recently been recognized as one of the top spots for picnic-perfect sunsets across the United States.
The car rental company SIXT has recently unveiled a comprehensive analysis of the best places in the United States to witness a breathtaking sunset. The study evaluated over 200 scenic locations, taking into account factors such as TikTok searches, Instagram hashtags, Google trends, and air quality.
While the top 50 locations weren't fully disclosed, some of the standout spots include Calcite Springs in Wyoming, ranked as the number one choice. Other notable mentions are Skagit Valley in Washington, Kilauea Crater and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii, Jenne Farm in Washington, Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, and Penn Cove in Washington.
Interestingly, the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City made an appearance, coming in at 31st place. Known for its iconic skyline and urban sunset views, the Brooklyn Bridge offers a unique experience despite the challenges posed by city smog. At golden hour, the bridge glows with warm hues of amber and gold, creating a spectacular sight.
Despite the Brooklyn Bridge's inclusion, it seems there's a new, unspecified location near New York that didn't make it to SIXT's list. This location, presumed to be a beach, is said to have sparkling crystals in the sand, but its exact identity remains a mystery.
It's worth noting that this new location was not analysed by SIXT, and it didn't appear in their top 50 list. For those eager to explore the full list, it's recommended to check the SIXT report or their official announcement, as current search results only provide partial listings.
Watching a sunset, especially on a location as iconic as the Brooklyn Bridge, can have numerous benefits. It can help reduce stress, improve mood, and increase feelings of awe, gratitude, and overall life satisfaction. So, whether you're planning a trip to one of the top-ranked locations or deciding to enjoy the sunset in your own city, remember to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the setting sun.
