Anyone use this road to Tray Gap recently. Passable by car or pickup?

Not recently, we took a 2wd truck and minivan up 2 years ago. You have to cross through a steam but only a few inches deep and plenty of rocks, not mud. The road was rough but all graveled. I saw a few cars in the parking lot.

There are 4 ways to tray gap.

From the southwest on Tray Mountain Road, it should be no problem in a car, no creeks to cross, but it is a long way. Takes longer than you think.

From the west on high shoals road. Shortest way, but you have to cross a creek, which can be scary if it has rained lately. Also has some bad spots.

From the northwest on Corbin Creek road. A long way also, and lately hasn't been maintained so good. Usually closes in winter.

From the southeast on Chimney Mountain road. Forget it if you don't have 4 wheel drive. Never in my memory has been drivable by car.

I'm not sure which one is FS79
