I totally agree! Poughkeepsie was technically a harder trail but Imogene was the most beautiful trail I’ve ever run. It has it all and well worth running it every year. Thanks for the comment!

Hey guys. We echo your appreciation and respect of our trails and passes. You mentioned that you liked the history associated with the areas you run. To help your appreciation of Imogene Pass, you both may want to read the book "Tomboy Bride" by Harriet Fish Backus, a true-life account of living life at the Tomboy Mine and later, in Leadville. 'Hope to meet your family on one of our Colorado trails! We really like your videos and are new subscribers!

That was the remains of the Tomboy Mine that you were exploring and, as Carolynbentley mentioned, you really should read the Tomboy Bride to get an appreciation of how the miners and family lived up her during winter months. Good photography.

Great video! Looks like everyone had fun. I did Imogene and Engineer Passes in July/August of '21 with my daughter as a HS graduation trip. We had a great time! There was a lot of traffic on Imogene and it got a bit dicey in a few places, but that is part of the adventure. Unfortunately heavy rain set in for several days and made camping impossible and the trails more treacherous, so the trip got cut short. I want to get back out there and do more of the Alpine loop. I don't think there are any more beautiful trails in America than the San Juan mountains. We have a 2000 4Runner that has been in the family since new. It performed like a champ.

Great video! Ironic timing here. Five years ago today, my wife and I did Imogene pass. Loved it! I'm not a stranger to 4x4 and basic off-road as I've lived in Wyoming since 1958 and have been driving 4x4 pickups since 1970 (hunting, fishing, camping) as well as a '91 YJ project for the past few years. However, we drove our car down to Ouray and rented a Jeep (didn't feel like driving my YJ down there) from Switzerland of America Jeep Rentals. Still, I found myself a bit anxious about doing this pass and had to mentally calm myself down and slow down a few times while doing the drive. Wow, you guys had more snow up there than we did! Agree with you about it being a beautiful drive. Loved looking at the old mining structures and marvelled at how they accomplished this given the time period. We've also done the Alpine Loop, Hurricane Pass, Engineer Pass, and Ophir Pass in past years. As I can't take rentals on Black Bear Pass, I'll probably never do it (hope you get to!). This Fall, we are going down to see the Fall colors and do the Last Dollar Road and Owl Creek Pass (very easy, but beautiful drives). You have a great looking family that seems to enjoy the adventure! Thanks for the video!

I'm from northern Indiana and love the San Juan mountains. I'll be out there in September. I didn't see a follow-up on which way you made it back to camp, but next time consider Last Dollar Road. It's not as majestic as the high passes, but the scenery is very nice and you will pass through one of the largest Aspen groves in Colorado. I don't think a lot of visitors are aware of its existence, so it is somewhat a hidden gem. You can jump on Last Dollar at the Telluride airport.
