The story
Mount Shinn is a 10,995-foot-elevation (3,351-meter) mountain summit located west of the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Fresno County of northern California, United States. It is set within the John Muir Wilderness, on land managed by Sierra National Forest. Precipitation runoff from this mountain drains north to Florence Lake via tributaries of the South Fork San Joaquin River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 3,600 feet (1,100 meters) above this river in less than two miles.
