Do "unpaved roads" in ONP and Buckhorn Wilderness require an SUV, or AWD?
Hi all! Planning to backpack the Upper Big Quilcene in May, and the last ~5 miles of road leading up to the trailhead is marked as unpaved on the official NPS map. Would this require any particular caution or vehicle capabilities?
I've been looking through old posts and most of the comments indicate that the majority of accessible park area should be totally fine in an ordinary vehicle. Just wasn't sure if an unpaved road fits in this category. Are there any parts of the region that really do justify a larger car/higher clearance/AWD? Thanks!
