Forest Road 68 - Pine Mountain
The road is very passable but really rough. Lots of exposed rocks and a few drops or steps. You need high clearance be it 2x or 4x and no a Subaru will not make it.

@herdbull
I made it in a Subaru just fine before the monsoon. I think some people just have fun talking about what they can/can't do. May be worse after the monsoon season, of course, and haven't been out since but considering the number of, "A subaru can't do this" that I've done just fine, I take it all with a grain of salt. I think some of the problem is what do people consider to be high clearance? A lot of people consider stock tacoma/forerunners to be high clearance and I have a little more than one and a little less than the other
