Imogene Pass is AMAZING - Utah to Colorado Adventure

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2018
- After just having completed the hair raising trek on Black Bear Pass, our crew headed to Telluride for lunch and then began the climb up Imogene Pass. Imogene is one of the most beautiful trails I have ever experienced and there were so many rustic old mines and camps to check out along the way. This is on of my favorite trails and a must visit if you are in the Ouray or Telluride Colorado area. #imogenepass #jeeptrails #jeepwrangler

as a guy that lives in colorado and near these trails i have to say that the sxs crashing is a very common sight. they are actually considering banning them because people are just so dangrous in them. happy you had a great trip
I know the time and effort it takes to just film and edit to make these videos. I want to just say THANK YOU. And special THANKS to the guy who runs with the rigs to get the footage. Awesome compilations.
Your gonna be the reason why I get off this couch and go down to the dealer and buy a jeep.....Great video..
I just bought a Rubicon... Brother if you only knew what you were missing.
Buy a dirtbike instead, fly right by all those slow jeeps have a ton more fun go more places jeeps cant even dream of going
Just do it. It’s worth it haha
Ha i ended up with a Grand Cherokee Trailhawk.
@@Fj09Orgforum Now if I can just figure out a way to put my new rooftop tent and fridge on my dirt bike, lol.
The Camp Bird mine got its name from when the original miners camped there and the "camp birds", probably black-billed magpies, ate their lunch. Evelyn Walsh, daughter of the mine owner Thomas, had enough money to become a Washington socialite and owner of the famous Hope Diamond. Great video! I've been up to the pass a number of times and it is always AMAZING.
America the Beautiful! Awesome scenery. Thanks for taking me along 👍
The scenery out there made it hard to keep attention on the trail... so awesome! Glad you enjoyed the virtual ride!
Can't believe I JUST found your videos. My wife & I are going to Colorado in August to do some bucket list wheelin'. Thanks for the awesome previews!
There is nothing better than waking up in the morning and looking outside your tent too see the view of a huge mountain, or valley at your 'doorstep'. It doesn't get better than that! Awesome series of Moab and Colorado videos.
This is one of my favorite trails in Colorado! All of the people who think they've seen the San Juan mountains by driving the Million Dollar Highway/San Juan Skyway have no idea what they're missing out on. Nothing better than getting off the beaten path.
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this and black bear pass I so enjoy your videos especially these two
Simply breath taking Brad!! And that camp spot, wow!! Thanks for taking us along on this epic adventure.
Great vid as usual. Living in Ouray you're truly just scratching the surface. Soooo many hidden gems
Thank you for all your years of service.
I’m happy to see you get to truely enjoy and see the country that you’ve help protect!
Absolutely love the videos by the way.
I really appreciate that, thank you!
What a perfectly done video! All the cool stuff without the bragging and showing off that everyone else seems to feel the need to do!
I salute you!!!
Great video. We drove Black Bear twice, once in the early 70's and again in the mid 80's. We drove Imogene in the early 80's. These are great rides. I hope to do it again.
Well it’s not the healthiest that I’m living vicariously through your videos, I’m surrounded by too much pavement and buildings. This is MUCH APPRECIATED! ❤
Went this summer and it truly is one of the best trails! So gorgeous, pretty busy with jeeps and sxs's but everyone was courteous and mindful.
10/10 must do for everyone.
Thank you for a great video of Imogene pass. I'm a Colorado native who moved to Texas. Looking forward to coming back home. Nothing like the beautiful San Juan Mountains. Pure beauty! Viewing this helped with homesickness.
Done this run so many times.. I completely agree at how beautiful this is! Thanks for sharing!
I love the old abandoned mines. Wow! The history there.
So much history!
Thank you for all of the efforts it took to make this video and the good instructions. Hopefully I will be able to go on a trail ride like this someday and Imogene looks like a good choice. A Navy Veteran 1962-64, Coronado and U. S. S. Navarro APA 215.
Love that area and the fact that it's only a few hours away. Never gets old. Enjoyed the video.
If it was only a couple hours away from me it would be tough not to spend every weekend there! Really glad you enjoyed the video.
Each video gets better and better Brad! I love running Imogene Pass. I'm glad to hear you had lunch at Brown Dog Pizza! I live 6 hrs away from there and the wife has tried to talk me into going back just for the pizza. I was surprised to see you caught sight of the owl carved in the tree at 12:47!! Most people miss that. Can't wait for the next video in the series. As always, thank you for all your hard work putting these together.
Thank you so much man! Got to keep a close eye out for the owl or it's easy to miss.
Yep, Brown Dog is the best.
@@brianmcgauley2664 I just got home abut 45 min ago from Ouray! And oh yes....Brown Dog Pizza was lunch yesterday! Ate at tables in the street that's closed off but still delicious!
@@outlaw9232 , I was curious....how much do these guys have invested in those rigs? We have a condo in Mountain Village and usually hire Telluride Outside or DIY on milder treks.
@@brianmcgauley2664 There is some investment for sure but Brad from Trail Recon does his research and give honest feedback. I love his channel.
Wow!! That was great Brad. Your entire trip was very cool. Thank you for your videos!
Gosh, it's been a good 20 years, but my wife and I were there in 2000, and we rented a Jeep to go up that trail. I recognize all of that stuff. Looks pretty much the same!
Ahhh MAN.... you missed all the color change of Fall!!! You need to do this area in late Sept, early Oct when the Aspen trees change from green to yellow and reds. Breathtaking!!!
Did this segment with my wife 2 years ago. Great trip. Thanks sharing your experience.
Thanks for posting this awesome video! My recently late grandfather took me over Imogene when I was a teenager in the 1990s, and your video reminded me how awesome it is! Next summer I am taking my family over Imogene. Thanks again!
The calm on that place must be amazing. No human noise pollution...
Thank you guys for your videos they are awesome and the scenery is spectacular, what a fantastic job you do. Being a disabled veteran you bring my some enjoyment so I can get through my day thank you so vary much.
Wow, great job filming and narrating this video. Looking forward to seeing all your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Love this series! As always, safe travels!
can i just say what a GREAT video this is.
from the music, to the brilliant shots and of course, the beautiful scenery.. Incredible.
an instant addition to the bucket list.
Been there many times. Will have the whole family plus this year. Absolutely on the bucket list. Can't wait to show this place off.
Always wanted to do the Imogene Pass... long way from SoCal tho! Nice you all checked it out and thanks for sharing!
Great video Brad. We definitely look forward to seeing these trails in CO. Such beautiful scenery you really captured it well. Congratulations on 100k Subscribers 🎈🎉 what a huge accomplishment you definitely deserve it with the amazing videos you do.
Really appreciate it, thank you!
Bought a Rubicon a month ago and i watch your videos for inspiration and learning about trails and jeep stuff in general. Great channel indeed.
Awsome view off a very nice trail.... the way you film the trails is stunning thanks Brad for sharing..
Looks good. This series of videos have been great! Informative and motivational. Thanks for sharing.
This is amazing! As someone that does camping and roadtrips in Southern africa I can only dream of overlanding North America
I love watching your vids when I can't be out on the trails.
Awesome video my friend! Thanks for sharing, and please keep on making more of them. I love the quality of the video!
Just an awesome video, you do such a great job with these videos Brad. Imogene pass has caught me attention since watching your video and I hope to someday see it. The old mines, what history! Thanks for such a great job with your videos, I've spent countless hours watching them!
Thank you for the footage and the advice. I’ll definitely get there.
Imogene Pass is a beautiful drive. My fiance and I drove over it just a few weeks before you(7/30). I had proposed to her the day before driving up through Yankee Boy Basin. We were lucky and were there right at the peak of the wildflower bloom, it was absolutely stunning. If you are ever back in the area I would highly suggest driving through Yankee Boy Basin and checking out the Blue Lakes. Anyway we got extremely lucky and the avalanche that had the pass closed up to that point had finally been cleared. We had hoped to also go over Black Bear Pass but snow had kept that closed.
Thanks for reminding me of this amazing drive and keep up the great work from a frequent watcher.
This is awesome. Thanks for the great filming, editing and exploring.
Hi Brad. That area looks awesome on camera so in person it must be unbelievable. Your video is the perfect balance of Jeeps, scenery and info.
I drove Imogene in a VW Vanagon bus in the fall, what spectacular colors !
Adding to my list. Thanks for sharing, this looks so awesome.
My favorite video yet Brad! Good motion work, nice panning. Bass did not hit as hard as some of the videos in this series. Of course... Merica and Jeeps! Thank you sir for the strong work.
Did this pass from Ouray to Telluride on Sunday, absolutely stunning! We aired the tires up at the same place they saw all the elk
Master Chief, thank you for your time and service. SFMF
Loving all these videos! Makes me want to plan a COLORADO trip for myself soon!
On our bucket list. Thanks for showing this !
Absolutely Amazing
Did this on my MTN bike back in the early 90s, nice to see another vantage point after all these years.
We live about a half hour from here and this is on our bucket list for this summer in our Wrangler. LOVED the video and made me all the more determined to run this route.
Well, did you go?
Just got my new Rubicon a couple of weeks ago. I can’t wait to take it out on this trail! Thanks for sharing!
Good. At around 4:30 narrow road along cliff. Thanks for sharing.
Amasing track, I like the mountain views they are spectacular!!!
Watched several of your videos and planning a trip in March from Texas to Moab and many scenic trails along the way. Just want to thank you for the awesome production you have shared
Sounds like a great upcoming adventure for you, safe travels!
You guys are really taking in a slice of life - amazing stuff!
Next week. I can’t wait !!!
My buddy and I are doing a Utah/Colorado trip in about 4-5 weeks, Imogene pass is one of the main things we're wanting to see. This video just makes me even more excited for it.
Great video again, Brad. Was good seeing you again on the Oriflamme trail today. Look forward to more video's of your trip. Thanks
Today was a great day on the trail, great wheeling with you! Thank you!
Hey Brad, I didn't know you were in the Navy, thanks for your service! I always love your videos, thank you.
I did this pass alone in a 1993 Nissan Pathfinder and have a picture (Kodachrome) of the Tomboy sign. Its still the same sign because the knots in the wood boards match up!! The sign is so weathered and barely readable now. Also, I remember, as you come off the summit of the pass, after the initial grade, the trail was not clear and you just had to wing it! There was no accompanying traffic either or trail maps to follow. What an adventure of a lifetime!
Awesome as always! Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Excellent, much better than others I've seen. Only done Yankee Boy Basin to the top, wildflower heaven. Thanks.
We ran Imogene about a month ago from Ouray to Telluride on our way to Moab. We always enjoy it which ever direction we are going. Always lunch at Brown Dog Pizza.....
I love your videos. Amazing places you travel to. Look forward to the next vacation spot. Thank you for your service. I was also Navy. For six years. John Barrios
Brad, LOVE the video. amazing scenery. Excellent photography!!!
Out of 1100 thumbs up, you only have 14 miserable ones who didn't like it because they are jealous. Too bad.
Enjoy it guys.
Another great video. I really do appreciate all the effort you put into them. Keep em coming, you have a loyal fan here. Thanks again!
Great video Brad, You're living the dream brother. Added Imogene to the bucket list.
I wish I could live more of this, but still have to grind it away at the 9to5!
Love the Bear and Imogine. Nice videos. Camped in that same area by Imogene Creek at the end of September two years ago, after getting over the Bear then up and over Imogene. It started to snow on me at the pass and I got down to tree line and just cold rain. But when the sun came up......man oh man ! Surrounded by a winter wonderland above me, and good trail conditions from my point down. Love the San Juans !
Thanks for sharing your adventure, I totally enjoyed it. I watch a lot of Overlanding videos and it seems to me so many of them want to show off their fancy editing skills instead of concentrating on the story. This was a wonderful edit. No speed ramps and whooshes needed. Outstanding. Oh yea, sphincter tightening narrows as well. I was shifting in my recliner.
and added to the Colorado trail list. Thanks!
I just got back from Ouray and my first Jeep experience in the mountains. I was scared for whatever reason to try Imogene so we started out with Corkscrew Gulch and down to Silverton and then Ophir Pass before Last Dollar. Now I realize what we missed by not doing Imogene and also doing more of the Alpine Loop. The only ones I will not do are Black Bear and Poughkepse. Thanks so much for putting this video together - this pass looks amazing and experiencing a Jeep Rental to adventure into the mountains is surreal, to say the least.
Excellent video. Will add this trail to the bucket list.
Amazing footage! Thanks for sharing!!
Went two weeks ago I drove this pass. It was a few days before this early winter. I climbed it on foot and took a picture of each Wrangler as it went by and have images of 42 machines that I like. I did a few pans at the big mine in the creek down below and placed the gold dust into a vial.
I've been over black bear into Telluride 12 times in a completely stock 96 grand Cherokee Laredo no lift whatsoever. Had to use a spotter coming down the steps at the end everytime....but made it all stock. Best year jeep ever made.
Great Video and narration!! Thanks for sharing
Headed there this summer, can’t wait
Another killer video, thanks again.
being overloaded with epicness great video
I went there August 2019 in our Pinzgauers Still had snow everywhere. A must see location
Another amazing trip with ineffable views. Being born and raised in the flattest state in the country, while being a jeep person, I'm truly jealous of your expeditions. This channel has quickly become one of my favorites. Safe travels Brad.
It was really awesome to have been able to explore these mountains... can't wait to go back. Thank you!
Very nice video I love those high altitude off roads old passages roads.Keep it up bro
Great video! Thanks for posting
Great video Brad. We love the Ouray/Silverton area and have been going the middle of August for 11 years now. We must have been there just before you were. Keep the vids coming bud.
Mike
Great video as always. We did this trail the 4th week of August this year and agree it was the best. Thanks for the beautiful video!
We just missed you by a couple weeks! Thanks!
Thanks for the video, we are going to Ouray for the FJ Summit, not planning to go on Imogene Pass this trip, but you never know...
Wow 😳 beautiful area ❤️👍😎🏔 I would love to drive this route at a very slow speed for safety n to look at the views 😊 thanks for sharing and safe travels
Fantastic scenery and nice rigs
Thank you for serving Brad!
Thank you! I loved my time in the Navy!
Thanks Brad - Will put it on the list!
It's a must do trail!
Great video! Elk Ridge Mt. and pass and 1000 miles in a Kawasaki 800 , hitting all of the back trails in San Juan County, UT was my adventure with Josh Nielsen, Sunrise Outfitters, this past October. One almost feels the need to wear a parachute!
The Indian Ruins of San Juan are remarkable!
Stay safe, have fun!
Your videos only get better and better. I've been to Moab 3 times, after watching this video Imogene Pass is in my new bucket list(I live in Denver) keep up the great work.
Thank you, that's so good to hear! This is absolutely bucket list worthy!
