Easy power line road for the first few miles. The down hill section was very washed out with boulders from 18" to 24". A few steep shelves about 2' feet deep. It is slow going and make sure you pick good lines and you will be fine. I would recommend 4x4, good ground clearance and lockers. I did this in a 2016 stock Jeep Unlimited Rubicon. Bring plenty of water and some kind of shade.
