Beaver Creek Overlook

Beaver Creek Overlook sits at 9,440 feet along the Medicine Wheel Passage, facing 240 degrees, a direction oriented toward sunset. The land drops 571 feet within 600 meters of the overlook. From this point, Devil's Kitchen Overlook is visible to the south-southwest at 18.2 miles, with Fox Mountain beyond it in the same direction at 19.1 miles, reaching 4,540 feet. The Red Gulch Dinosaur Tracksite lies to the south at 20.5 miles, while Caboose and Gould Butte are both southwest, at 23.0 and 30.6 miles respectively. Greybull is the nearest town, 23.1 miles to the southwest, with Basin and Lovell farther out. Because the view faces toward sunset, evening light crosses the overlook at an angle roughly 30 degrees off square. Seasonal sunset times range from 16:34 at the December solstice to 21:01 at the June solstice. The Beaver Creek area lies within rangeland managed for summer grazing of domestic sheep and cattle under a Forest Service permit system, with sheep typically found at higher, treeless elevations and cattle grazing lower slopes. This overlook falls between Scenic Viewpoint and Observation Point along the byway route.
