The road to the 4WD trailhead has a couple of bad spots but I was able to make it fairly easily in my Xterra. We camped at the trailhead and hiked to the top the next day. It's a long walk from there and my GPS clocked 12 miles instead of 11. I would recommend hiking in and camping to make for a shorter climb. It was a great day to climb, warm and not windy. It did snow just a little on us when we were on top but nothing that lasted. The trail is easy to follow and the views are great of the Crestones and Kit Carson. The actual summit is not far beyond the false summit you see from the saddle.
