Mudhole a few miles in from the Saint Elmo side definately requires a winch to get through unless your ride is also a boat. The trail is still accessible from the Timcup side if you are just trying to get to Mirror Lake or the pass.

Trail is great if you can past the mud hole. 99% of vehicles will need a winch
