- We rode the iconic Imogene Pass the summer of 2022 in our Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon. Our Jeep has 35 inch Nitto Trail Grappler tires and a 2 inch Mopar lift. We drove it west to east from Telluride to Ouray. Our 3.5+ hour trip is condensed into this 33 minute video so although it's well represented it's not fully represented. This Jeep Badge of Honor Trail is rated 4-6 in difficulty. It contains no major obstacles, but a fear of heights could be an issue due to shelf roads that take you over 13,000 feet high on the second highest drivable pass in Colorado. The views are spectacular and it's definitely a "must do" if you are interested in off-roading near the San Juan mountains. This trail is usually open June-October weather permitting, however the highest elevations of this trail were closed, at least temporarily, as late as July 11th this year. We had the good fortune of riding the trail the first day it fully opened on July 12th. I highly recommend this trail. Enjoy!

Awesome Video! You surely captured some awesome views. thank you for sharing your experience with us.
It's an amazing trail. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching.
Awesome ! Just did this trail over labor day weekend.
It is definitely is a "must do" for any avid off-roader.
I love this trail. Was there only a few weeks ago enjoying the fall colors. Imogene was icy and slick at the top of the backside past the pass. A little skating and we were fine! Great video!!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed your trip. It's an amazing trail! A must do for any off road enthusiast.
Any campsites along the pass?
Yes I do believe there are camping sites along the trail or nearby at Camp Bird but I would definitely research availability and options. It would be an amazing place to spend the night.
3 people died on this trail very recently, perhaps close to the time you were there. Driver was a rental Jeep guide according to the article I read. Very sad.
Yes. Please be safe on the trails. These shelf roads up high in the mountains are beautiful but unforgiving.
Thank you for how you did this video, I can now see if it's something that i can try.
Awesome. That's exactly why I posted it. Glad it could help give you a preview of this amazing Colorado trail.
Nice job...I've got a ram 2500 I want to take through there ..a few tight spots next to those vertical scree walls, but it looks doable
I did see some trucks on the trail and they seemed to be doing fine. Best of luck!
hi i live in mn and have a stock 4x4 2020 tacoma with standard tires 245 75 16 can it make the imogene ride or should i stay away
The 4x4 Tacoma is a very capable truck and shouldn't have any issues, the only question would be clearance and the standard tires over the rough and rocky terrain. I would check with some Tacoma owners to make sure it's doable. I believe I saw some videos with the Tacoma. Good Luck! It's an awesome trail.
Is this a one way trail?
Imogene Pass is a 2 way trail which allows you to travel from Telluride to Ouray or from Ouray to Telluride. Much of the trail is pretty narrow but it does provide wider spots rather frequently which makes passing allowable. Vehicles ascending the mountain have the right of way. One good tip is to depart early when traffic on the trail is still light.
@@michaelsyoutubechannel5857 do they allow ATV'S
The wife and I did Imogene Pass back in 2018. Loved it! We went from Ouray to Telluride, had lunch in Telluride, and then did Ophir Pass back to Ouray. Although I have driven a 4x4 pickup since 1970 (yes, I'm old) and have a Jeep YJ, we drove down to Ouray in our car and rented a Jeep for the trail (cheaper than driving my 4x4 pickup, towing my YJ down there). We plan to do it again next Fall, to see the colors. Thanks for the video and the memories!
Glad you got to enjoy this incredible trail in person. It's definitely worth a return trip. Appreciate your kind comments.
Beautiful scenery.
nice vid , but could had had some commentary , maybe stop and take in a veiw here and there , but nice
Great video! What did you air-down your tires to?
Thank you. It's an amazing trail. We aired down to 22 lbs for increased traction and to smooth out the ride.
Excellent video!
I appreciate that. We had a blast capturing this awesome trail on video.
I didn’t see the one bad curve in there with all the rock
I tried to include the most challenging sections of the trail, but must have missed that one. Appreciate you watching!
