We just completed our drive to Point Sublime. It's a tough road. We drove it in a 2015 Ford Escape 4wd. More clearence would be better, but if you go slow and be smart about your wheel placement, and have experience off roading , you will be fine. There were 5 other vehilcles out there. Looking at my Escape a couple said " you drove out here in that"!l?? One of the biggest thrills was in the meadow coming across a large heard of Buffalo!!
