Ultimate 4wd destination: Bruin Point

Bruin Point is a high mountain peak at an elevation of 3.107m (10,193ft) above the sea level located in Carbon County, in Utah, USA. It’s a required drive if you are working on the top 100 most prominent peaks in Utah. 

Bruin Point

The road to the summit is called Water Canyon Road. It’s totally unpaved and pretty rocky. Do not travel this road in severe weather conditions. The summit is littered with communication equipment so the road is usually well maintained. With such a high summit altitude the road can be closed anytime due to snowfalls. The zone is prone to heavy mist and can be dangerous in low visibility conditions. It’s a steep dirt road, so a high-clearance vehicle is probably best, and low-range gears will help a lot (especially coming back down) but most regular vehicles could probably make it up. The road is narrow, steep, and winding, and probably the greatest peril is meeting up with another vehicle heading in the opposite direction.
