Every single day, more and more people are getting into overlanding. This place isn't as large, and traffic on this trail can be problematic. I recommend that you don't roll in with a large convoy. Can you vehicle get through this trail? AWD crossover: see how your vehicle matches up to a Subaru or a 2019+ Rav4. If less capable, I would not recommend this trail for you. A vehicle with an older part time reactive AWD system like a 2018 or older Rav4 may really struggle here. Large long beach Truck: I ran into a Ford F-350 long bed that got hung up on his rear differential. I stacked rocks for him to get unstuck. 2WD Truck: Because body on frame vehicles typically have good wheel articulation (flex), with intermediate driving skill, a 2WD truck can make it through in dry conditions. In wet conditions, it can be a nightmare. I hope you find this information useful! Remember! The Monache Meadows has been getting more and more crowded, so it's a good idea to have a "PLAN B".
