Shuteye Peak is a mountain located in the Sierra National Forest in Madera County, California on the highest point of Chiquito Ridge. It is home to the first permanent fire lookout built in the Sierra Nevada.
Shuteye Peak is known for its panoramic views of the San Joaquin Valley, Mammoth Mountain, Bass Lake, and North Fork areas and is home to one of the last active fire lookouts in California. Today, Shuteye Peak operates as one of a triangle of lookouts in the Sierra National Forest's Bass Lake Ranger District with Miami Mountain and Signal Peak.
The peak is accessible by a main trailhead which begins north of Central Camp used by the United States Forest Service to supply the lookout by off-road vehicle. The trail is steep and technical with many exposed rock sections of quartz monzonite. It is popular with hikers and mountain bikers in the summer months.
There's a trail called Shuteye OHV 6S59 leading to the summit.
