Shuteye Peak Lookout, Madera County, California, Elevation = 8355 ft.

Located in Sierra National Forest
Shuteye Peak is on Chiquito Ridge northeast of Bass Lake. It is a spectactular location. The last part of Forest Road 6S59 is really rough and only recommended for tough 4WD Jeeps. The lookout is usually staffed seven days during the fire season. The present structure was built in 1967, however there has been some sort of lookout here since 1911, the oldest lookout in the Sierra Nevada. Photo by Richard Carey on September 14, 2010.
