Manly Peak Wilderness

Manly Peak Wilderness protects 17,240 acres of rugged Sierra Nevada terrain in California’s Inyo National Forest. Named for William Lewis Manly, who helped guide pioneers through Death Valley, this wilderness embodies the grit of desert mountain country. Steep canyons, pinyon-juniper forests, and sweeping views of the Owens Valley define this overlooked gem. It’s raw, remote, and rarely crowded—exactly what wilderness should be. Rep a place that honors both pioneer spirit and untamed landscapes.
