Maybe best for smaller 4WD vehicles

The road had a lot of damage. There were a ton of large holes. We have a campervan with a lot of ground clearance but turned around b/c it was very narrow and we didn’t want to pinstripe our van with all the overgrowth. We also came across a very large portion of the road that was washed out. I think it would be best for smaller 4WD vehicles with a lot of ground clearance.

Need ground clearance

Our campervan has a generator underneath and couldn’t make it up the trail to the camping sites. You don’t need AWD per se, but you will need ground clearance.
