As Hallorann's flight arrives in Denver just after eight a.m., this means that his flight from Miami departed some time after three a.m., which indicates that he left for the airport shortly after speaking with the forest ranger. The drive to the town nearest the Overlook takes another five hours. A snowcat under blizzard conditions can travel at speeds of about 15 miles an hour. As described by Ullman, the Overlook is about twenty-five miles from town. Counting the time making a call from the airport, renting a car, driving to the town, renting the snowcat and making the final leg, this would put Hallorann's arrival at around 4:45 p.m. Sunset at that time of year is at about 5:30 but where the Overlook is located, the sun would dip below the mountains at just about the time Hallorann arrives.
