Here's my commute where it leaves Boulder Canyon, 4 miles of switch-backy pavement leading to two miles of dirt road to my place. Six miles further on the dirt gets you to Nederland.

Can't remember how many people with Subarus that I have rescued in the wilds.
They are like just enough to get into trouble.

Interesting, I have pulled Toyota's out with mine down in your neck of the woods! Mosquito Flats before it got shut down.

One foolish woman just kept spinning her wheels until she was totally dug in there.
Never tried deflating the tires a bit, or jacking and putting rocks under the wheels.
Tow truck bill was $185.

I was driving in the Pine Nuts above Carson one evening, pretty lost, when I ran across a woman with a baby. Figured I was somehow on private property, so started to back up. She flagged me down, and I thought "uh oh"; but turns out she was stuck further up the road in...
a Subaru.
I gave her and the baby a ride home, right past the Subie in the mud. Was nowhere near anything up there, and without the proper gear in the rain over night? They would have died. My best good deed, I think. Still wonder about that gal and the baby.

You like dirt roads? Start in Riverside, Nevada and head SE into Arizona through St Thomas gap (with 30m side trip to Lake Mead crags) then east to Pakoon Springs (side trip 45 miles in Grand Wash) then thru Hidden Canyon still east and over Mount Trumball (side trip 12m south to the promontory) then east again to a mandatory 20m side trip to the most scenic spot in the Grand Canyon (Toroweap) then north and then northwest to the Hurricane Cliffs emerging in Utah.
You can do over 500 miles in 3 states without ever touching pavement.
Did it 30 years ago.
