How long does golden hour last in Talkeetna?

Around 86 to 181 minutes each evening. It's shortest in March and September, about 86 minutes, and longest in June, about 181 minutes. In December the sun stays low all day, so the gold merges into one long window or doesn't come at all. The farther from the equator, the longer it lasts, because the sun crosses the horizon at a shallower angle.

Toward the southwest in December, around 215°, swinging to the north-northwest in June, around 332°. Today it sets at 245°, well south of due west.
