One of the best Jeeping videos I've seen. Great editing and views, and excellent narration. Plus some good jeeping tips. A fantastic short story. Not too long, no loud or dorky music, and none of the typical boasting. You've done an excellent job. Thanks. I've done Imogene Pass several times from both directions. Pick your way based on your overall route. Neither direction is harder or better than the other, although going west (Ouray to Telluride) can put the afternoon sun right in your eyes. Plan on a full day either way.
@@brodgers1861 Another thing that I'd add to the comment above is it was just the right amount of selfies! I hate watching vids of people taking these trails and the camera is focused on the couple in the truck/jeep for most of the video, hell I want to see the scenery. Great video and thanks
@@dougupah8778 I appreciate the comment. I'm new to the video thing and at this time I only had one GoPro. I made the best video I could with what I had. I have since added more equipment a hope that videos in the future are a great improvement
Did Imogene. August, 3 years ago. What's funny is your comments matched my own @5:02. Tho mine came from base-lining a 30 year old truck, as compared to your rig, the denominator is the same. A bucket list item checked off. Kudos!
Imogene is one of my favorites. Grew up in the area, so know it well. Funny enough though, I have only taken it from Ouray to Telluride (about a dozen times!), just always seems to work out that direction for me. Was up there about 3 weeks before you (2nd week of August) and the weather was perfect! Great job with the video. See you “down the trail”!
Nope. Neither direction is better or worse than the other. I've done Imogene several times in both directions, and each has their own pros and cons, at least in my opinion.
Actually, Texas does get some brutal ice storms, February of 2021 being about the worst ever. Temps were down to -18 F with the wind chill, everything was coated in a couple of inches of ice and power was out for millions. Having a 4 wheel drive only meant you were going faster when you inevitably slid off the road and hit something. Our thunderstorms and hail storms are legendary, which you'd know if you lived here.

Thank You, that is quite a compliment. I hope you subscribe. I just posted part 1 of Alpine Loop this morning. Part 2 coming soon.

Thank you for the comment. I've added more video equipment and will me producing more videos soon.
definitely on my list of trails to ride. :)
Excellent video!
Good video. I came though a week after you were there. Spent the night at the first water crossing with the drop off. Great time.
Pretty amazing!
Looks like roads get narrow and sketchy the higher up you go? My anxiety kicks in on real narrow roads with a big drop off. Lol

Great information and video!! I felt I was there.
Glad you enjoyed it!

My family and I went up Imogene in 2002 on a tour jeep out of Ouray. Spectacular!
That’s normal in the Colorado high country!
Looks a bit crowded
Moose nuts 😂
We ran into an ice/sleet storm one year on the top of California Pass. Only time out there I got worried lol
Great video. Apologies for being pedantic, but it’s pronounced “eye-muh-gene”.
Looked like a typical day on the pass to me. It’s a wonderful trail, but you did not hit an ice storm, just some moisture.
Glad you watched!
Great video! If you want to test somg lighting stuff to your cars?
I would be interested in what you have. Lighting is an upgrade I looking into right now.
@@brodgers1861 That's great! Shall we go further with more details via email?
@@suparee Sure, you can reach me at brodgers1861@yahoo.com
Looks like going up from Ouray and turning around at the summit is the way to go? Other side looked sketchy.

BRUTAL ICE STORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
