Heavy trail erosion to Leavitt Lake. Was it worth the risk?

I made this video to warn the public, right now, this trail is heavily eroded and it might not be reasonably safe for AWDs to traverse this terrain. We have a heavily modified Jeep Gladiator, a lifted Toyota 4runner TRD Off-road, a modified Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2, my ‪@traxda2756‬ 3.5" lifted Honda Passport with Eibach springs, and ‪@k20z3allmotorFTW‬ NART extended FLEX Ridgeline struts/shocks and a ZF9 equipped Honda Ridgeline with similar modifications, two Subaru Foresters, a Subaru Outback, Toyota highlander, an Acura MDX and to top it off, we have a bone stock 2019 Acrua RDX with summer performance tires. Yikes! Are we going to make it through? Patreon has an excellent platform that allows me to share detailed BLOG write ups of the places I go. It even let's me upload my GPX files for you to download. For as little as $1 a month, you can access my overland database.
