Both applications support the importing of Points of Interest / Locations. To import POIs for the Confluence into one of these apps proceed as follows:

  • Download the KML file with the points of interest by clicking here: POI List Icon

Notes

The Sunrise Sunset calculator above provides a monthly calendar showing Sunrise/Sunset and Moonrise/Moonset and Moon phase for a whole month. More detailed information can be obtained by clicking on one of the Photographer's Ephemeris icons above or via one of the mobile applications listed.

Sunrise Sunset times are given at the The Confluence Overlook. This overlook is part of the Navajo Nation which observes Daylight Savings time. Therefore the times shown in the calendar reflect DST and will be one hour off from times at The Wave and most of Arizona including the Grand Canyon from mid March to early November.
