Travel/Fishing Question For Wyoming Guys...Miracle Mile

The road running North from Sinclair to Kortes dam.....could I make that journey in a Toyota Corolla??? Regrettably, my truck has fallen victim to a wayward driver.

I'll be driving from Nebraska...my plan is to camp there a night or two, and dine on fresh Trout.

Any advice appreciated!
