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!

It is definitely is a "must do" for any avid off-roader.

Beautiful scenery.

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!!

Awesome. That's exactly why I posted it. Glad it could help give you a preview of this amazing Colorado trail.

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.

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!

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.

Is this a one way trail?

@michaelsyoutubechannel5857

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.

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.

nice vid , but could had had some commentary , maybe stop and take in a veiw here and there , but nice

I didn’t see the one bad curve in there with all the rock
