Shuteye Potential Wilderness
 Managing
agency: Sierra National Forest
Size: Approximately 27,377 acres
Location: Madera County, northeast of Bass Lake
Description: The primary geographical feature of the area is Shuteye Ridge. At over 8,000 feet in elevation, it provides magnificent vistas to the east and west. From north to south, the ridge is marked by a series of distinctive rock formations including Little Shuteye Peak, Big Shuteye Peak and The Eagle Beaks. They are among the most interesting in the Sierra.
The forest here is sparse and is broken by a succession of scenic
granite ridges. Shuteye Peak itself consists of two complex rock towers. The
panorama from these towers is breathtaking.
A separate area to the south of the ridge stretches from Central Camp in the north to South Fork in the south. This area includes the imposing South Fork Bluffs and Brown's Creek with its spectacular series of waterfalls and cascades.
