There is a road, it's just dirt. Even with the 2.5" of ground clearance, I didn't bottom out. The sandy river bed crossing was a little hairy, but for the most part it wasn't so bad.
That last shot, I was only about 30-50 feet from the car, it just looks far.
It wasn't even hot, maybe 85-90 at the most. .. OK, thats hot, but it's currently over 100 in Vegas so relatively speaking, it's not so bad. Here is a link to the location, you may need to sign into a google account to view the link though.
