i'm sure you've been told this before but it's a breath of fresh air seeing videos where one can actually think they can use their vehicle to explore these trails, because now the normal is to throw 37s and huge beefy suspension and go on trails. but you really dont get the feeling you can do them having a close to stock vehicle.
@coloradomallcrawlers3 ай бұрын
Thats our goal… thankfully many stock vehicles are built beefy enough to do a lot of trails. Still, we don’t snub our noses to a good build for those truly brutal trails, but for many, they already have what they need to see these views!
@derekheuring29843 ай бұрын
Well, people have different ideas about how capable they want their vehicles to be. I have a lifted Power Wagon on 37's which is needed due to the truck's long wheelbase. I've been off-roading for over 50 years now and my first 4X4 was a 1963 GMC Panel truck which wouldn't make a lot of these trails. The first 4X4 I put a lift on was a 1980 Toyota pickup truck with the 2.2 liter 4 banger. It went just about everywhere, even without lockers. My trucks have become more and more capable as the decades have slipped by and now I'm at the age when I don't want to have to do too much physical exertion, especially at higher altitudes to get my truck to where I want it to be. I let the truck do the work.

Did Imogene a few years ago in a rented Jeep (didn't want to drive or trailer my YJ 500 miles to do this). My anxiety of not having done this trail before, along with my arthritis flaring in my right shoulder, made this trail less enjoyable than I would have liked. The summit is very serene. Would like to do it again before I die. Nevertheless, when it comes to Imogene, take it slow and in low will make it a good experience. Thanks for the video!

Great video showing this fun but challenging trail. Extra points for stopping to help a fellow off roader. One correction is the structure that you ID'ed as Fort Peabody is not the fort. When you get to the top of Imogene the road splits. You turn right to go the pass and the left trail goes to a nice overlook area. Fort Peabody is up above that lookout. It is a wood structure a little bigger than the one on the pass and is surrounded by a rock wall. I recommend going up to this lookout for another great view.

Colorados are midsize trucks so I would think it would be fine. We had a ranger do Black Bear Pass without issue and that’s a more challenging route. Since you have a longer wheelbase, I’d say your bike is at increased risk. If you do it, let us know how it goes.

@snivesz32 Color correction was done to try and even out the footage from the 3-4 different cameras. Most of it was very blown out exposure wise and green so a lot got corrected closer to the middle, mostly the GoPro footage. However, recently I have been dealing with constant crashing on the color page in Davinci resolve so that greatly affected my color process having to restart the program multiple times every hour. I was satisfied with the results without spending a few more days on just the color grading. Eventually I'll sort out some good Luts for different scenarios, but with the changing of environments and the angle of the sun though out the day each shot seems to need its own specific adjustments past just a general LUT. Appriciate your input and hopefully adds some context to our process in the making of this one.

Great video! Do you think a 4x4 Tacoma pulling and off road camper can do Imogene Pass?

Thanks! Yes, BUT Imogene can be crowded enough that I wouldn’t pull my camper on it.

Bill, I’m dyslexic and have trouble pronouncing many things right. Sorry this bothered you.

@@coloradomallcrawlers I'm dyslexic also, have to spend A LOT of time correcting my text when I post comments -- but I do it or else they'd be almost impossible (and highly annoying) to wade through even if understandable. So how am I supposed to knwo you're dyslexic? Even so, I've never heard of anyone dyslexic being speech-impaired where they mispronounced words. But you know, in all fairness a lot of "normal people" "mispronounce Imogene as well -- not just you. Mainly Americans, such as ""EYE-ran" for Iran or "EYE-raq" for Iraq. They seem to want to say a long-vowel sound, not a short vowel. But in most languages, a long vowel sound isn't very common, jut in English (I guess). So it's not surprising they (the average person) can't even pronounce the name of the pass they're doing a video on but it's still (yes) "bothersome." And kind of hurts their credibility. Now you know though... But really, "Imogene" is a female (girl's) name and the pass is pronounced the same way, so everyone should know that. "Jeep Wave" (I have one, too) -- BR

There’s different versions of dyslexia. I was diagnosed in college when my spanish professor caught it. I could read and write spanish, but not speak it or understand spoken spanish. It should have been caught in elementary school as I was in speech therapy till I was 7-8 years old, but I otherwise excelled in all my classes. In medical school, I was tested and again, I was confirmed to be dyslexic. I learn by reading, but phonetics don’t work for me. Hearing how something is pronounced does not mean I will be able recreate it. I looked up the pronunciation online before filming this and what you heard here was my attempt to recreate it. You’ll notice in the Poughkeepsie edit, I never said the name. I edited out all my attempts out cause it just never came out right. Anyway I would hope a viewer would put more weight on my decades long experience as an offroader and the information packed into these videos. However if my pronunciation hurts my credibility, so be it as I can’t change it. Luckily I can pronounce most trail names (including the often mispronounced Ophir), but I will continue to have difficulty with female names that are no longer used like Imogene.

Your videos are always such a joy to watch. The music that you selected to play in the background was a nice choice. It doesn’t drown out the sounds of the action or rustling/rushing nature, but gives me that cherished Offroad VHS nostalgia. Much appreciated! Keep them coming.

10:35 - At the end of that water crossing, if you take a right, it’s a loop that takes you to a much larger waterfall that you ended up driving above on the main trail. Should check it out next time you’re up there. Love your videos, Dewie!

@coloradomallcrawlers I have a 09 Hummer H3 with Adventure Package (factory lockers & 4/10 gears) on 33 inch tires. Do you think this vehicle is capable of doing this and other trails in this area? This is a bucket list trip for me. Just want to make sure the vehicle I have is capable?
@coloradomallcrawlers2 ай бұрын
All I can say, is the hummer H3 is a very capable vehicle that I feel I could get up or down every trail in the San Juans. However, it’s your vehicle and you will have to make that call.

Thank you, that helps. I don’t mind using the Hummer, as that’s why a got it. I’m just not into abusing it. Or pushing it to its limits. I have the mindset that I still need to get it back home. Like I mentioned doing the San Juan mountains trails and towns is a bucket list trip for me.

TrailsOffroad for half that. Funtreks books for $25 are a great buy tho. I have the funtreks app, OnX, & TrailsOffroad. It’s a shame that onx used all of funtreks data as their own so when OnX first came out, they looked great. However it was all funtreks data without any credit given. I think that was shady even if OnX paid for that data.
