Imogene Pass

Status Unknown Challenging 13,114 ft ~17 miles rocky/gravel

Imogene Pass stands at 13,114 feet — the second highest 4WD pass in Colorado. The route links Ouray and Telluride through the heart of the San Juans, passing through historic mining ruins and above-treeline alpine terrain. Rocky switchbacks and narrow shelf road sections require careful line selection. Best tackled with a capable rig, good tires, and a group of at least two vehicles.
