I ended up with chains, $140 from autozone. These are amazing, I've never used chains before but I have to say they are better than I expected.
Up ahead on this trail was a section going up with a drift, probably 3 feet deep or so for about a hundred feet, the trailhead for the hike was only a 1/4 mile so there was no point in going any further, I had attempted and made it maybe 10 feet before realizing how deep it was a throwing it into reverse and getting out. My friends came up behind about 5 minutes later, they insisted their Audi Allroad was going to just plow right through... needless to say I had to pull them out, but I had no traction without the chains so I tried them out and didn't even spin a tire... Very Cool.
