Imogene Pass teaches a lesson in preparedness | San Juan Trail Guide

Imogene Pass is an iconic San Juan off-road trail that takes you from Ouray to Telluride. Often compared with the legendary Black Bear Pass, Imogene has its own cult following of off-roaders and overlanders from all over the world. In this video, we’ll show you what it’s all about including shelf roads, water crossings, sketchy photo opportunities, and incredible Colorado scenery. This guide was completed with a stock Jeep Wrangler TJ, Nissan Xterra, a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JLU, and a Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk KL. This is definitely regarded as one of Colorado’s best trails, but is it beginner friendly? We’ll find out! Video Edited By Drew Hunter TrailsOffroad: This channel is my creative outlet so I don't need to push stuff out to people. I will promote TrailsOffroad because OnX has bought out everyone else (OnX recently offered me a deal 🙄). Watch my OnX vs TrailsOffroad video to see the differences.

If that sounds like a fun watch, we'd love to have you as a subscriber! The channel membership was created to give our community the best trail info on youtube quicker since trail/overland guides take a while to create. Video Editors are Drew Hunter and Dewie Jones. We're always looking for more offroad video editors as we film a ton of trails (100% of adsense goes to the editor). Channel Members have access to our filming schedule and I want you to be in the videos! The Black Bear crew gets additional easy to edit videos but offer more up to date info on trails (since guides take a while to put together). The Holy Cross crew gets more say in what videos get edited for the channel (video credits and early looks at Trail Guide edits). https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZNhgEStKFcR_H63ivHKVUg/join 00:00 Summary 00:45 Trail Info 01:10 Yankee boy Basin 01:50 Northern Trailhead 03:00 Few Rock Ledges and Features 04:24 WP #22 Water Crossing - Creek 05:24 Remembering my beginnings 06:50 Cliff Overlook 08:20 WP #20 Trial Split 09:00 Rock Climb 10:05 Waterfalls and Crossing 10:45 Short Wheel base Recommended 11:10 Tippy Spot 11:26 wp#18 Richmond basin- Water Crossing 12:54 Trail Etiquette 13:28 WP#17 Water Crossing 14:00 WP #13 Poser Rock 15:15 WP #12 Rock ledges 16:55 Summit 18:15 Switchbacks 19:05 Trail Difficulty, Ghost Town 19:40 Columbia Mine, Tomboy Townsite 21:00 Unexpected Challenge, Recovery 23:00 A lesson in Preparedness 23:50 Smuggler Union Mine, Trail breakdown 24:45 WP #4 Social Tunnel 25:12 Terrifying View, Outro
