We Drove from the south end in a badlands bronco sport. On M2452, at the corner of the BLM land the trail goes up to a gate that is only about 5’ wide. Trail is labeled for 4x4’s and high clearance vehicles, but only single person ATV’s and dirt bikes would have been able to make it through the BLM gate. No problem turning around, took another trail back, and had a fun rest of the drive.
