Imogene Pass

First time running this trail. Went from Telluride to Ouray. The trail is very steep and narrow before the summit on the Telluride side. It’s rated 4, but the narrow areas with the big drops sure make it feel much worse. Took us 5 hrs from Telluride to Ouray. Wouldn’t do it with rain on the Telluride side.

The pass was clear and not much traffic. However, the road is closed near Telluride. When researching the problem, I found that they doing road work through Oct. 7th.

Conditions were great! Unfortunately once gettin close to telluride we found out the road was closed with 3.9 miles left. Had to turn around back to Ouray. Trail reports did not say it was closed, but quick google search while on the trail told us there is construction on the telluride side all week Oct 5-8.

Took my Rivian from Ouray to Telluride, only mud was at the top, otherwise good trail conditions

Only saw snow and mud towards the top.

Snowy at the top and had to shovel out some snow drifts. It’s melting fast where the snow is so is still fine to drive. Wouldn’t recommend going before 10am before the snow thaws out.

We broke through the Snow drifts as deep as 12" to 18". Other vehicles followed. The snow was quickly melting in the warm sun

I came from the telluride side and made it 300’ from the ridge before getting stuck in snow. It’s very icy and I had to back down to a switch back to turn around. As ss hole was puckered up good and tight. I’m driving a Jeep JL on 1 tons and 40” tires.y lockers aren’t working at the moment but even if they were I doubt I would have made it up.

Quite greasy with all the snow. But I sent it with my Tacoma with no lockers. I just aired down to 25psi and Floored it.

We rode from Telluride to Ouray mid morning, on mid size adventure bikes. A Triumph Tiger Rally Pro 900 and a BMW GS 850. Being our first time, not sure what the condition would be considered, but it was a fun ride on 500lb+ bikes. Lots of ruts and loose rock, with some small shelves. I’d definitely do it again. There were several jeeps and side by sides, but no other bikes. Although the weather forecast was 0% for moisture, there was a dusting of snow at the top. It was wet going down the Ouray side from the top, but surprisingly good traction although wet.

Not sure how crowded it usually gets, but there were quite a few groups in both directions. Rained last few days, mud made it all sorts of fun on the way up!! Muddy near the sign, but dry further up just below the fort.

Sleet and some snow at the pass made for an eventful first time.

I came in from the Ouray side. It was more difficult than I expected but I made it through in a stock 4x4 Ford Bronco Wildtrak. I am so impressed with this machine.

The construction on the telluride side seems to be complete and the road is open.

Beautiful trail. I did in my 2016 LR4 (with x-lifter software lift installed) but stock would have done it just fine.
