Yes, you will not be able to reach it by regular car. That being said, there was a Subaru Crosstrek and Outback there when we went so you don't need a lot of extra clearance. AWD or 4WD helps too but isn't mandatory.
You need high clearance just to get to the parking area. You still have another half mile to mile walk to the actual columns though after parking.
