You can do it. Need to watch your tires. The rocks can be sharp. I’m in Ridgway and my be available as a guide if I don’t go camping on the Flat Tops. PM me when you are planning to try it. I saw a VW Synchro Van do it on 30 inch tires a couple of years back.

I saw a VW Vanagan on 30 inch tires do Black Bear once but you do have to watch out for that one spot. Another example of hitting that spot just right.

That ledge runs across the trail at a 45 degree angle and there is a hole right in the middle of it. What happens is people drop their left front wheel into the hole, then hit the brakes and the momentum takes them over and to the left.
The best way to do it is come into to it a little to the right, then turn left so you are square with the ledge. Straddle the hole and ease both front wheels down the ledge together. Once the front wheels are down you can start your turn back to the right and the rear will follow.
