Tonight is your last chance to view the sun set behind the Chicago skyline from the Indiana Dunes State Park. It should pass just over/behind the Hancock Building if you position yourself just West of the Porter Beach parking area. If you can't make it, you can catch it again from here in late July when the sun is setting further South each day. Or explore beyond the Dunes and see it from another spot along the lakeshore using the PhotoPills app to guide you.
