Joe -- A high clearance vehicle is good for some of the roads -- esp. the
road to California Gulch (5-striped sparrow) and some other roads, eg. French
Joe Canyon. However, legions of birders have made it to these sites with
careful driving in normal sedans, too! For almost every other area, the
roads, although dirt, are fine for a regular car. Unless you can get a
very very good deal on a 4wd (try local, non-chain outfits) a regular car
should be fine. That's all I have ever used. (But we were very glad to
have had a 4WD in Colorado last month, since we landed in a major snowstorm!)
