Engineer Pass is known as one of the most difficult and steep backcountry roads in the area, reaching a peak elevation of 12,800 feet, which requires a four-wheel drive and high-clearance vehicle.

When I went over Engineer in the 1970s in my 73 K/20, there was a 47-55 2wd Chevy pickup following us and not having any trouble.

So unless it's changed a lot, I would say it's one of the easiest backcountry roads in the area.
