Dry and Dusty! Very Dusty! High clearance is nice but not necessary. Rode ll the way up to My Howe in 2WD with no issues. Several campsite right off the road with fire rings and picnic benches.

A few patches of snow up towards the top by the trail is passable

Stopped by 3’ of snow about 2.5 miles from the peak.
