Is road to Navajo Lake TH ok with low clearance?
Can anyone tell me if the 7 ml. road to the Navajo Lake TH for the Wilson group is friendly enough for a low clearance vehicle?

It's described as a 2WD road: https://www.14ers.com/php14ers/trailhea ... hparm=sj03

If not, Kilpacker Basin road could be navigated in any decent vehicle.

It's a graded dirt road, you should be good.

It's actually the same road.

Re: Is road to Navajo Lake TH ok with low clearance?
Thanks to everyone for all the feedback on the Navaho Lake road! I'll be in a Tesla (not mine), which I'm not too used to or sure about clearance (told it's not the super low road-scraper one), but these responses gave me confidence. My other option was the Blaine Basin Road (?). I seem to remember from long long ago that it maybe got rough in spots, though it was really too long ago to trust, and road may have decayed.
