What’s the best part of vacation? Some would say the time spent with friends and family and loved ones. Others would say all the drinking and food without calorie concerns. For some people, it’s a change of scenery, and for quite a few people, it’s sleeping in.

However, one of the best parts of vacation is actually the opposite of sleeping in: Waking up early to experience the quiet beauty of sunrise.

On Enid Lake in Mississippi, you’ll experience one of the best sunrises available in the state. It’s an actual color show, with the sun streaking both lake and sky with reds, oranges, pinks, and blues. For a couple of minutes, you can just experience the beauty of nature in a quiet, peaceful way with no one else around. Truly, it’s downright magical.

Enid Lake is one of the best places to visit for a peaceful vacation in the state.

Of course, part of that peaceful visit is waking up early at least once to see the sunrise. Look at how it paints both the sky and the water.

And the best part is the time in between sunrise and sunset is lovely, too. Check out all these deer!
