The road had some damage from the recent flooding but nothing requiring 4x4. As long as you have high clearance you'll be fine. The hike from the trailhead to Hunters Cabin was pleasant. You start in a very healthy joshua tree forest and end up in a mix of ponderosa, fir, and aspen forest by the cabin. From the cabin to the peak you head through a mix of juniper, pinion, ponderosa, and bristlecone. From the cabin to the peak is brutal. Only a use trail that pretty much heads straight up. The area is very unique and beautiful. The spring at the cabin, wiregrass spring, was flowing enough to fill my hydro flask every couple of minutes. Due to the excessive heat warning I went through far more water than anticipated and ended up drinking unfiltered spring water. Hopefully it's safe. Sure tasted good.
