Imogene Pass

Ran trail Saturday morning telluride to ouray and all sections are good to go after closure on Ouray side. San Miguel country quickly bulldozed and cleared a small section that had a mud slide. Good to go from either direction and typical weekend traffic already back out.

Opened back up after the stoneson July 31st

Closed due to monsoon flooding

Some signs up saying closed from the Telluride side, but 100% open and no sketchy stuff. Great time with a lot to see. Fun alternative, although longer, than Ophir pass.

It is closed. Not seeing that on the USFS site. Disappointing. Most likely due to the thunderstorm a few days ago.

Drove up from the Ouray side. Traffic was moderate with a lot of side by sides. Made it down to treeline on the Telluride side before we were told to turn around and go down the Ouray side. A pipe for water run off was exposed from erosion so they closed the Telluride side.

Closed, probably due to rain. Will probably be temporarily, we didnt stay around long enough to find out

We went from Ouray to Telluride. The trail is easier overall than the 6 rating. As others have said, you can bypass virtually all the obstacles and maintain about a 4 rating for probably 98% of the trail. The hardest parts you can't skip are near the top from the Ouray side where there are a couple places on the steep sections with embedded rocks. I did the trail in my Cherokee Trailhawk that has a 2 inch lift/level. I probably wouldn't do it in anything less than that. All other vehicles I saw up there were more capable than mine. Low range is a must and the rear locker helped me in a couple spots. The views on both sides of the pass are totally worth the effort. Just be patient and smart on the shelf roads. They are no joke.

Love this trail! 4LO is your friend on this one!

Steep, but keep in low gear and fun to drive.

We ran Imogene Pass from Ouray to Telluride, leaving the Ouray side around 1:30 pm. The trail was beautiful, with a good mix of challenging terrain and scenic views. I’m relatively inexperienced and felt that a few of the obstacles were deserving of a 6 rating, but a majority of the trail in this specific direction was more like a 4. We intentionally chose harder lines to get practice in. I am in a ‘21 Tacoma on 35s.

Started from Telluride side. First couple miles fairly straight forward for Colorado. Single lane road, drop offs, amazong views. Last mile to the top fairly challenging. I didnt have any problems with my set up; 35" wheels, 2.5 inch lift. Shorter you may run into problems but certainly not impossible. Going down into Ouray no problems just busy. Saw 10+ SUV's and a few less side by sides. Highly recommend especially if you are new and looking to challange yourself

Gets pretty harrowing at the top of the climb: super narrow roads with moderate obstacles and 500+ foot dropoffs. GX handled it fine, I was a bit nervous towards the top coming from Telluride.

Beautiful trail! Definitely not an "easy" trail as others have commented, it's definitely a 6/10.
