4-Wheel Drive or High Clearance Vehicles Recommended
While it is usually easy to get in and out of our neighborhood in the summer and fall months, there is occasional heavy snowfall that can quickly (and temporarily) limit access into our neighborhood. We also recommend 4-wheel drive or high clearance when traveling the 811 (Washington Gulch Rd) past our neighborhood and towards Gothic Mountain and Mt Baldy.
