Imogene Question

For those of you that have done Imogene before. In your opinion how easy or difficult is this trail.

I (Jackie) may be driving this and I have only started driving trails. Tony may not make it to the Summit until Thurs.

I need your opinion. I know that M will be leading us, so I will be in good hands.

Thanks!!!

Was pretty easy of us on our newbie trip last year. If you are on your own then at least your spouse won't be looking out the passenger window hollering "get away from the edge".

Re: Imogene Question

You could probably do it in a station wagon if you knew what you were doing.

Re: Imogene Question

Yup, I'll give my daughter a turn at the wheel so she can get a "hands on" experience. It is a great trail but not the most challenging of the runs in Ouray...

Re: Imogene Question

When my youngest son first got his drivers license, I let him drive up Imogene. He was a bit scared but made it just fine. It’s mainly rocky towards the top but all in all not a bad road.

If I remember correctly, last year when I was up there, there was a honda sedan up there.

Re: Imogene Question

From what I have seen of the photos, never having been there myself (about to be remedied) is they are graded roads that are steep but are traversed by passenger cars all the time.

Ouray is there for the view more than for "difficult" from what I've seen. And there will be a lot of people there to help if you find yourself in a situation where you're uncomfortable.

Re: Imogene Question

Thanks for all the responses. I know that I will be able to do this if hubby doesn't make it.

Re: Imogene Question

My favorite trail up there. I run it at least twice a year. Very scenic, and easy on the rig. Towards the top it gets a bit narrow, one lane stuff. There are places to pull out and let oncoming vehicles by. A couple of water crossings, shallow, or take the bridge over, your choice. Old mines to stop and look at.

On a side note... it is in my will that my ashes as well as the ashes of the finest dog ever (my Avatar) are to end up near the waterfalls up at timberline. That's how much I like Imogene.

See ya in a few weeks!
