from where you enter this Trail just after the pay station going towards Cottonwood Cove it is just fine a car can make it until just after 9 Mile Cove, however if you're going to continue this Trail to Christmas Tree Pass it is definitely not easy from Sandy wash Road to Christmas Tree Pass probably took two and a half hours it is very rough and tons of boulders
