Well it wasn't totally clear how to get there at first, most websites I found talked about driving up a riverbed, which my brother and I did (we both had 4WD). At a certain point it merged with a dirt road which on the way out we took the all the way back to the main road, which had lesser requirements for a 4WD. In the end, I doubt you actually need 4WD but I do think you need pretty decent clearance even if you take the road. There are a couple spots that you would be going over some washed out/messed up parts of the road and a car would bottom out for sure.
