How much clearance needed for Harry Gates summer access?

Hi there -

Most things I'm reading are saying High Clearance required but have heard some word of mouth otherwise. How much clearance do you really need to access Harry Gates in Summer? Specifically looking at driving from Basalt via FS Rd 400

For summer access to Harry Gates Hut via FS Road 400 from Basalt, a high-clearance vehicle is recommended, but not always strictly required in dry conditions. Many AWD crossovers can make it when the road is in good shape, but a low-clearance passenger car is not advised. Road conditions can vary significantly, so check current conditions before you go.
