Neptune

OpenStreetMap
Looking north-east from Neptune. Terrain and imagery at true elevation.

Neptune sits at 151 feet along Route du Fleuve, facing 60°, roughly northeast. The land drops 141 feet within 600 meters of the overlook. Two peaks are visible in that direction: Le Grand Por, 9.8 miles out at 1,152 feet, and Montagne du Remous, 11.0 miles out at 788 feet.

The facing is oriented toward sunrise, about 30 degrees off square, so early light comes in fairly directly along this line of sight. Sunrise times shift across the year, from 04:44 at the June solstice to 07:27 at the December solstice, with equinox sunrises at 06:45 and 06:28.

The next lookout along the byway is Belvedere De La Chute De La Riviere Jean-Noel.
