IMOGENE PASS 4x4 Tour

Depart from Ouray, Colorado. Cross Box Canyon Gorge and the headwaters to the Ouray Hot Springs, then ride up through impressive canyon walls silhouetting Canyon Creek to the lower historic district of Camp Bird Mine. Make your way through several ‘circa 1902’ mining homes to scale a narrow shelf road carved into the side of a steep precipice that ascends to the entrance of Imogene Basin. Reach the site of the Yellow Rose mine and impressive waterfall. Then, climb above tree-line into the ghost town area of the original Camp Bird, a major source of gold and silver wealth in the 1800’s. Summit Imogene Pass at over 13,100 feet, and experience panoramic views of distant high mountain peaks and the town of Telluride. On the return trip, enjoy a historic narrative of the infamous Ft. Peabody and views of Ptarmigan lake. An exciting and rugged trip for adventure enthusiasts! Generally available from July 4th – September 15th. Inquire thereafter.
