Dunn Mountain #4

The upper portion of this route is quite rough, with long stretches of loose rock on steep grades. Traction can be challenging, and the rocky surface increases the risk of vehicle damage. One vehicle in our group experienced a blowout near the top — despite running heavy-duty off-road tires — and another sustained a dented oil pan. High-clearance 4WD, good-condition tires, and skid plates are strongly recommended. Airing down tires before the climb can improve traction, reduce impact from sharp rocks, and improve ride comfort.
