I needed a better equipped vehicle. It was doable in my stock Tacoma but in one spot I had to use the rear locker to get up a shelf. My added on skid plates saved the day.

Lots of ledges, loose rock, few small water crossings, sand was wet and deep in spots bc we got stuck in a thunderstorm.

Fun and beautiful, at least a stock 4x4 is needed, although there a few drop offs that may be difficult and rub your trailer hitch. The views are spectacular.
