Sunrise

What happens as the sun comes up?

Early morning is a great time to explore the Pine Bush with the comfort of knowing the sun will soon rise. Hit the trails early in the morning and find a spot to watch the sunrise with friends and family. The dunes in the Blueberry Hill region of the preserve have a clear view to the east making this part of the Pine Bush a great place to watch the sunrise.
