Hiking and walking when the sun is rising or setting can be one of the best times to enjoy nature as you can see the sun rising or setting on the trees and mountains. The sun is very strong here, especially in the prime summer months, so when it shines brightly it can reach between the trees and cast shadows and beams of light on to the forest floor. It can make you feel in awe of nature and your surroundings and this view would definitely make you stop and marvel at the light reflecting off the water and the trees.
