Its most prominent summit, Matterhorn Peak, rises to {{convert|2636|m|ft|}}, making it the highest point in the Shuswap Highland.[3] GeographyThough technically part of the Columbia Mountains to the north and east, the Dunn massif is isolated from other ranges by the Interior Plateau and the Shuswap Highland.[4] The group is bounded by the North Thompson River to the west and north, Harper Creek to the east, and the Barrière River to the south. The nearest towns and cities are Barriere, Clearwater, and Kamloops. As there are no roads in the protected area, access to the alpine area is by trail via the Harper Creek Forest Service road. Matterhorn Peak is the 92nd most prominent peak in British Columbia.[5] EcologyThe protected area surrounding the peaks contains old-growth forest, including stands of Engelmann spruce and interior Douglas fir. The park also contains significant wildlife populations, including wolf, cougar, marten, river otter, black bear, mule deer and mountain goat. Several protected avian species are present, such as the great blue heron and bald eagle.[6] HistoryJames Dunn was a gold prospector in the region who left for California in 1888 after falling sick. He had mined gold with a "rocker" near ChuChua, on the western slopes of Dunn Peak.[7] Nearby Baldy Mountain was the site of the Windpass gold mine from 1916 until 1939.[8] On April 30, 1996, the massif became the central point of the new {{convert|19353|ha|acre|adj=on}} Dunn Peak Protected Area.[6] References1. ^1 {{cite peakbagger|id=13362|title=Dunn Peak|accessdate=1 November 2013}} 2. ^{{cite bcgnis|id=12957|title=Dunn Peak|accessdate=1 November 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.peakbagger.com/range.aspx?rid=1311 | title = Shuswap Highland | accessdate = 14 January 2011 | publisher = Peakbagger}} 4. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=13362 | title = Dunn Peak, British Columbia | publisher = Peakbagger.com}} 5. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.bivouac.com/PeaksInProvince.asp?rq=ShowPage&ProvxCode=BC&Order=Prominence&MinHeight=&MaxHeight=&MinProm=500&MaxProm=&Units=meters&Columns=Short&LatLong_Format=DMS&MaxPeaks=100&EditMode=Edit | title = Peaks In British Columbia | publisher = Bivouac.com}} 6. ^1 {{cite web | url = http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/dunn_peak/ | title = Dunn Peak Protected Area | accessdate = 2011-01-14 | publisher = Ministry of the Environment, BC Parks}} 7. ^{{cite web | url = http://archive.ilmb.gov.bc.ca/bcgn-bin/bcg10?name=15629 | title = Origin Notes and History | publisher = BCGNIS }}{{dead link|date=September 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 8. ^{{cite web | url = http://www.britishcolumbia.com/parks/?id=226 | title = Dunn Peak Protected Area, Little Fort, Yellowhead Hwy 5 BC | publisher = BritishColumbia.com}} External links
