Driving the road in the first 2 miles there are two spots that drop into a wash area about 4 feet where my Rav4 scrapped bottom, the rest of the road has a few potholes but otherwise not too bad.
We were the only ones at the trailhead and didn't see anyone else all day. It seems like a good place to go for solitude. There are about 7 parking spots at the trailhead.
WTA was up here recently and the first portion is on a new trail that intersects with the old trail at places. Make sure you are on the newer trail it's easy to miss a switchback and end up on sketchy wet rock slabs before reaching Three O'Clock Rock.
We mapped the GPS track of the new trail with the Cairn app, you can use Cairn to show the route.
The trail after the first mile is wet, muddy, and rooty. It was too warm for ice on this day but I would bring micro-spikes on colder days, also bring poles.
At Three O'Clock Rock, the views open up and get progressively better till you reach the pass. At the pass is a great place for lunch, to view 3 fingers on a clear day.
