Description:
|
The Imogene Pass Trail is located between Telluride and Ouray, Colorado. The trailhead is located in Telluride, and is used to return to Ouray after running the Black Bear Pass Trail. Ranging in elevation from 8,700 feet (in Telluride) to just over 13,000 feet at the pass, the Imogene Pass Trail was built in 1880 to access Ouray from the Tomboy Mine. The Mine ceased operation in 1927, but the road was reopened in 1966 as a 4WD road, following efforts of various 4WD clubs. Along the initial portion of the trail, you can clearly see the switchbacks coming down Black Bear Pass Trail, as well as both Ingram Falls and Bridal Veil Falls. The Tomboy Mine is located between Waypoints IP01-12 and IP01-13, and there are numerous historical remains to visit. Imogene Pass is 13,114 feet in elevation (the second highest pass road in the U.S.) and is located between Waypoints IP01-15 and IP01-16. At Waypoint IP01-22, the trail forks off to the right and takes you through the Camp Bird Mine and into Ouray. The left fork continues into Yankee Boy and Governor Basins. The Imogene Pass Trail is about 14 miles one way and takes about 3 or 4 hours to reach Ouray.
