This is the western sundial of a pair with the 100th parallel running between them. Use best judgement - the site would be available 24 hours a day 7 days a week, however, the sundial would be best viewed during normal business hours. Details from the North American Sundial Society - (

"Two horizontal dials side by side, one for Central Standard Time and one for Mountain Standard Time. The CST dial shows hour lines for 7 AM to 7 PM, the MST dial shows 6 AM through 6 PM. Corrected for longitude. Each dial is approximately 13 meters in diameter. In front of the dials is a large concrete plaque with the equation of time and analemma. The analemma is represented as summer on top and late months (Feb, Jul) on right. This is not the way it would be viewed in the traditional series of photos nor is it the way a shadow would be traced. The width is exaggerated, presumably to allow a better reading of the minutes of time. The paint is peeling badly."
From Kansas, a guide to the Sunflower State, page 184 - (

"Two SUNDIALS, Front St. and Central Ave., stand side by side, in Santa Fe station park. They are 44 feet in diameter and separated by a space of 44 feet. Visible from the windows of passing trains, the east dial tells central standard time, the west dial, mountain time. The 100th meridian passes between them."
