As others reported, heavy pinstriping and at least one challenging washout section requiring high clearance 4x4. Passable in a stock Jeep Wrangler. Almost no pullouts so hopefully you don't meet anyone going the other way.

The lower section is extremely grown in and you are all but certain to get pin striping here. There are only a handful of spots where you can pull over/park until you reach the clearing at ~1970m of elevation. There is one crux section that I found quite challenging in a Tacoma and had to resort to locking my diffs to get through it. After that is another narrow off-camber section but you can drive slow. Overall, not super worth it to drive in my opinion as it's not a far walk from the normal trail head. After the road opens up again, the condition improves drastically and one could easily drive all the way to the pass.
