Hyner View sits at 1,932 feet along the Bucktail Trail, with the land dropping 1,136 feet within just 600 meters of the overlook. The view faces 260 degrees, oriented toward the west-northwest, where Keller and Darby Memorial Park lies 4.3 miles out at 687 feet, with Summerson Mountain (1,807 ft) and Coal Hill (1,700 ft) visible beyond at 7.2 and 9.9 miles respectively. This westward facing, about 10 degrees off square from sunset, means the overlook takes in evening light directly; sunset ranges from 16:45 at the December solstice to 20:48 at the June solstice.
