As previously reported - really good condition and smooth road other than the deep waterbars. We had a high clearance 4runner, and I personally don't think an SUV could make it.
Drove up until the Ault Lake Spur and found 30+ water bars. Many of which were deep enough to drag the hitch on my Tacoma. The road bed in between the water bars is in great shape, but you will definitely need a high clearance 4WD or a short wheel base and some careful driving.
