Across the Imogene Pass.

I took a trip from Ouray to Telluride via the Imogene Pass a couple days ago. It is the second highest pass in Colorado, el. 13114'. Most of my pictures were taken on the way up when it was sunny. Coming down I got sleeted on.


The beginning.


Atlas Mine and Press Mill


Road to Governor Basin


( Wrong turn. )










Imogene Pass

Thanks for showing our beautiful southwest Colorado to DU. But we might note: don't try the great Imogene Pass in your town car!

I wasn't taking any pictures on the other 90%. I was busy driving.

Been there years ago. Definately not a town car road.

Nice color rendition and framing by the way.

It looks like the only thing in the picture that will burn is the post that the sign is on.

I think there was a manned weather station there at one time. You can still see the ruins of some wooden structures. For some reason I think there may be a zip code still, and you can get stuff postmarked from Imogene Pass if you drop it in the box.
