Details

No snow on the route (just a couple spots nearby). The basin has lots of water in it, and the trail was muddy through part of the basin, the steps up to the upper slopes, and the first few switchbacks on the upper slopes. The rocks for the last bit were dry. We drove up the 4WD road, and at 7AM it would not have been too wet to walk across (maybe getting your feet a little wet). The creek crossing after the 4WD trailhead was doable with a trekking pole and a few well placed rocks.

How bad is the 4wd road? Could I get a 2wd Camry over it?

I posted an update on the trailhead's page: http://www.14ers.com/php14ers/trailheads2.php?thparm=sw19

But no, I would not take a Camry up there. We had about 8” of clearance in my Nissan Rogue, and I was glad for that. It was easy 4WD driving, but I'd be worried the whole time about scraping the bottom in a Camry. I bet it is possible, but I would not recommend it.

There were a couple places to pull off along the way, but there were a few stretches with absolutely no pull offs.
