Overall a pretty drive. Took my WRX through it without even remotely any issues. End towards Pandapas has some deep potholes and there's a washboard section that isn't awful. Good mud puddle halfway through. Paved road in from the SW is super fun in a lower AWD car.

Good sized mud hole about 3 miles in, nice if you want to get some mud under your tires

Gravel at both ends. Some pavement in the middle.
