When we asked at the ranger station, they said Mengel Pass was reported as impassable. I asked what kind of vehicle, and they had no clue. There were stock Toyota parts littering the trail, but we made it through with no issue in my stockish power wagon. Steel Pass, we rubbed the tailpipe, back bumper, slider, and skidplate.Here is the family at Mengel and coming down the backside in August 2013. That rock right in front of the rear tire was a little tricky because it was really loose and I was worried about sliding off into that big rock. Reading the log at Geologist Cabin the next day a guy made a comment that Mengel was the most torn up that he had seen it in 5 years. That was a week after the big flash flood in Panamint.
