Welcome to @RockSolidRig in July 2023 we traveled along Imogene, one of the Jeep Badge of Honor trails you can find in Colorado.
Imogene Pass is a popular 13,114-foot mountain pass located in the San Juan Mountains, between Ouray and Telluride, Colorado. Located in the Uncompahgre National Forest, the route contains areas that are steep, technical, and potentially dangerous.
With a 4×4 high clearance vehicle, experienced drivers can traverse the pass to enjoy rewarding, panoramic views of Ouray and San Miguel County. Only a few feet lower than Mosquito Pass, Imogene Pass is the second-highest drivable mountain pass in Colorado.
Imogene Pass was first constructed in 1880 and named after Imogene Richardson, who was the wife of a Camp Bird Mine owner. The first-ever alternating current (AC) long-distance power line was installed over Imogene Pass, delivering electricity that assisted mining operations for the greater Telluride area.
In 1904, after years of battle with local labor strikes, the Colorado National Guard established Fort Peabody at the summit of Imogene Pass. The route eventually reopened for recreational 4WD travel in 1966.
Access to Imogene Pass is limited to a few months in the summer and early fall. Typically, Imogene Pass is open from July until early October. Due to its elevation, Imogene Pass experiences frequent and quick changes in weather.
