Flat Creek Overlook

Flat Creek Overlook sits at 6,217 feet along the Wyoming Centennial Scenic Byway, with essentially flat terrain, dropping only 1 foot over 600 meters. The view takes in a cluster of nearby features in Jackson, all within a mile and a half: Miller Park to the south-southwest at 0.7 miles, Town Square and Antler Arch both to the south at 0.8 miles, and Mike Yokel Park and Phil Baux Park to the south and south-southeast at roughly 1.2 miles. Elevations of these points range from 6,225 to 6,292 feet. Jackson itself lies 0.8 miles south, with Alpine 26 miles south-southwest and Star Valley Ranch 36.9 miles south-southwest. Daylight hours vary by season, from sunrise at 5:43 and sunset at 21:08 on the June solstice to sunrise at 7:54 and sunset at 16:50 on the December solstice. The overlook follows Blacktail Ponds Overlook on the byway route. Given the short distances to town features, this stop suits travelers wanting a look at Jackson's central landmarks rather than a wilderness vista.
