What? The photo shows a boulder field maybe
15 feet long. Looks to me like a person could
ride to the left of it with no trouble. Yes,
there are smaller rocks beyond it, but many
times I've ridden stuff like that on a normal
touring bike. On a gravel bike it would
be easy.

? You need a MTB to ride that.

The first person to ride across the U.S., on a bicycle, was a Brit,
one Thomas Stevens, who ride a "50 inch penny-farthing" built by the
Pope Manufacturing Company of Chicago, from San Francisco to Boston in
1884. No big tires, no 10 speed gears, no beaker of beer, just a pair
of socks, a spare shirt, a raincoat and a pocket revolver.
