Brockway Nose

OpenStreetMap
Looking north-west from Brockway Nose. Terrain and imagery at true elevation.

Brockway Nose sits at 873 feet along the Copper Country Trail, facing 330 degrees. The terrain drops 270 feet within 600 meters of the overlook, giving a clear sense of elevation change toward the north. Hunter's Point Park lies within view, 0.4 miles north at 606 feet. The facing direction places the sun's path across the sky through much of the day; on the June solstice, sunrise occurs at 05:55 and sunset at 21:53, while on the December solstice sunrise is at 08:37 and sunset at 17:04. Equinox sunrise and sunset fall near 07:39–07:55 and 19:51–20:04. The nearest towns are Laurium, 30.1 miles west-southwest, and Houghton and Hancock, both roughly 39.5 to 39.7 miles southwest, making this a stop set well apart from developed areas.
