Located near the center of Jackson Hole. It is an isolated butte, an outlier of the highlands to the east of the valley, having an altitude of 7,676 feet and rising nearly 1300 feet above the floor of the basin. It lies north of the Gros Ventre River, east of the Snake, and southeast of Menors Ferry. The main ridge is composed of limestone. The location has long been called Blacktail Butte because the broad, extensive flats on the summit are a favorite range, at some seasons, for herds of Blacktail Deer.
