Was just there over Christmas... To get to the actual DB parking trailhead, you need a 4wd vehicle. Most of the ones I saw there were lifted jeeps fwiw.

You have at least 2 other options. You can park at the dry creek trailhead and walk up the chuck wagon trail or dry creek road. OR you can park at the mescal trailhead and walk that towards the DB trail. My wife and I chose the mescal trail and it was a great 1.5 mile addition! It had some great 360* views!

Check out Google maps of the DB trailhead and zoom out a touch, you will see all three trailheads.

We didn’t have a 4x4 vehicle so hadn’t planned on parking there anyways but when we were there it was actually totally closed to vehicles anyhow. We actually first tried what @rjeBrewer did but the stream was way too high to cross so we ended up at the Dry Creek trailhead and walking the DB road. The first mile is then pretty unremarkable but easy.
