What David said ... Warm Springs Road is usually a breeze to at least the buildings, but I'll make sure to report back if the Park got bored and installed an X Games dirt jump segment. On our way out I ran into an old desert rat in a beater van that was slowly working his way up the road past the buildings without any issues. Just taking it nice and slow.
I will also say that unless you're really familiar & comfortable with 4wd'ing I would highly recommend NOT doing Goler / Mengel in a rental jeep. Just because you have the tool doesn't mean you're going to have a good time. On my only trip through I had to do a little problem solving, had some fun off camber stuff that I learned after the fact scared my passenger, and ran into a lifted pickup coming back out before reaching the cabins because the driver was too nervous to go any further.
I had a blast, but ... I'm also an idiot.
