I have walked on that track, no wonder it looked familiar. No idea why those circular pullouts were there but I think that a pretty old narrow wheelbase vehicle could do it, though parts were pretty sandy. But it did follow hard packed desert pavement mostly.
As for following social and other media, this is a good thing for NPS to do IMHO. Charlie C used to do it, and everything wasn't online back then. I subscribed to the Sierra Club DPS Sage newsletter, which was not online back in the day, and one TR described a TH campsite that, it turned out, was within the wilderness boundary. Charlie called them on it, and they published a correction in the next issue.
As for the side by sides... absolutely, there are magnetic stickers you can put on a door with a logo, etc. If people see those they could, as you say, get the idea that the park is a good place to take theirs as well. Also, if they show the colors in remote areas, it does help tell the public how our meager public funding is being used, which is a good thing.
Three Bare Hills? Or Three Bear Hills?
