Status Update
Road up to the "2wd trailhead" around 10,300 is in decent shape, a stock Honda HRV made it up to the trailhead with only a minor scrape that could have been avoided via better route finding. For some reason, it ended up duplicating the entry.

How close to the 2WD TH would you say a low clearance sedan (Hyundai Elantra, 5.9 inches) could reasonably get assuming I don't have a ton of experience on rough roads and I don't want to wreck the car and strand myself?

Our car has about 7in of ground clearance and there were certainly some sections that we difficult. Your car could probably make it with VERY careful route finding, but it would be risky and you would bottom out a few times. It might be best to park at the bottom and do the extra four miles. It would make the hike around 12miles and I think around 4k gain. Let me know how it goes!
