Ophir Imogene Pass Tour - An old favorite!

Depart from Ouray, Colorado. Climb through the ruins of the Upper Camp Bird to the renowned 13,000 ft summit of Imogene Pass. Descend into Telluride through the ghost town of the Tomboy Mine for lunch. In the afternoon, explore the Alta Lakes ghost town amidst groves of Aspen and Spruce. Return via Ophir Pass, winding up the narrow and rugged Ophir toll road. This trip can be a good choice for wildlife watching as both deer, sheep, beaver and sometimes moose are spotted on this trail. This is also a wonderful all-day experience for the traveler looking for a thorough introduction to the history, geography and landscape of the area, without committing to the more extreme experience of Black Bear Pass.
