We drove it in a Volkswagen Tiguan, which is a compact SUV, and we barely made it. You need a vehicle with a higher clearance for the northeast section of this loop. The southwest is great. Overall, it was a beautiful but very rocky ride.

0 snow, kinda dusty. Super green and beautiful. Not too technical. Saw SXS and another 4Runner.

We were only able to make it up as far as you can see in the first picture. Then the snow got too deep. There were still some awesome spots for photos along the way though! Super fun trail still! I can’t wait until we can actually get to the overlook!
