  • Fewer clouds mean better colors and shades of light, so plan to visit on a clear day.

  • While daytime temperatures are hot and humid, it can feel super cold while you’re waiting for sunrise, so bring a warm jacket and gloves.

  • The sunrise is a great thing to capture using a time-lapse video, so you might want to bring a tripod that leaves you free to watch the skies.

  • Don’t forget to bring your sunglasses to protect your eyes from the bright sunlight.
