Great work Richie! Shoulda hit me up while you were out, I still need to do my tellu trip this year, might go twice

[@jailbreakoverlander]

I’m in Wyoming hitting the Morrison jeep trail then the rubicon. Then I’ll be back I’ll hit you then do a walkaround of your 80 and a trail if you can swing YOU are why I started using better photo gear

[@gregz.155]

@Truck Stop I've done Imogene as well, and there were parts that I wouldn't take my f250 crew cab long bed which was 22ft. long. Turns would be too tight. Also some areas at the beginning of the pass recently washed out so I'd be leery of the stability off camber with that high of a COG. We did it in my 16 Rubicon on 35's and it was nerve racking in spots.

I went over Imogene Pass in late July of 1968 in Dodge Power Wagon!! As this author kept saying how rugged it was, isn't the half of it!! It took us three-days. It was the most terrifying thing I have ever done in my life!! I broke out in a "Cold Sweat" just watching this video. I wasn't driving. I went with a mining engineer from El Paso.

[@rollinmckim4719]

It's always scarier when you're a passenger, isn't it?

[@deborahwright510]

I miss this so much. We drove over it in a Dodge Power Wagon in 1978. Did a lot of Four wheeling with a club and by ourselves. The only way to truly see and experience Colorado. This is a great reminder of how fortunate I am to live here.❤🇺🇸❤👍

[@dougbourdo2589]

[@gregoryrizer]

Richie you have to be a Man among men I'm jealous of the things that you do. Brother I want to do all the things you do but just don't have the funds to do then , I've always since I was a child wanted to live in Montana's mountains. But in my younger years I got mixed up with the wrong crowd and drugs and jails and watched my dreams pass away before I even noticed until it was to late. I wanted to be like Grisly Adams lol. I admire you brother and all you do to help your fellow man. God bless you and keep you safe.

[@eternalextrapolations]

You can start small and build up it. I know things are difficult now but if you can get a tent and a sleeping bag and camp somewhere outside for a night you've made a good start!

[@teresastump9388]

Gregory Rizer , wow, we have a lot of the same story, I’ve been sober 8 years now and earlier I had this same thing you typed go through my mind while watching this vid, I believe some day we will get to have these experiences we missed out on when we go to heaven..... God is so good and he knows the desires of our hearts.....

[@cts7651]

I did it in a stock 95 Montero with road tires and running boards, no mods. I bought the truck for $600 in Denver and drove it out there. You can do it dude.

[@JerryWDaviscom]

Gregory Rizer - you can do it. You CAN do it. You have to get some cash flow, live as cheaply as humanly possible and spend your money on equipment. Boots, a good backpack, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, cooking equipment - go to an REI store and tell them what you plan to do and they will help you a lot. You need a vehicle, and that will cost the most, but a GOOD used Toyota 4Runner is the king of the road. A 4WD 4Runner is, too, but 4WD is rarely used. I have had three 4WD vehicles (2SUV and one F150) and 4WD is rarely used. Good TIRES, good transmission, engine and cooling system - very important. You can relocate to the area you want to live in after you get your equipment together. Then, you can get some kind of job that provides cheap rent money, and do your exploring when you are off. Personally, I would rather backpack and explore than work, but we still have to have cash so some kind of work that brings in money is "necessary equipment". I encourage you to do this. It will give you a new life and remake you. You can talk to God on the trial like you have never talked to Him before. Get your equipment together and go find Him out there. He wants to have a good conversation with you :)

[@billcrane2444]

Ouray, my home for 15 years many years ago. My neighbor and I would telemark ski Imogene every spring starting on Red Mt Pass, up and across the ridge then down Imogene. It was always a blast. One year we looked down at our skis and discovered we were standing on top of a Jeep Wrangler. Later we got the scoop on it. The owner wanted to make one last trek over to Telluride that fall but, unfortunately, that was the day and the hour the winter snows rolled in. He got to walk out in an early season blizzard. He recovered his Jeep later in the spring. That same year and in the same area the bulldozer that clears the road in the spring slid sideways down the mountain but, fortunately, the driver was able to jump off before it rolled. Amazingly, he and the dozer were fine. Imogene is fun to jeep and mountain bike. Have you done Black Bear? Very Dangerous and one way only. I never had the nerve to jeep it so I did it on a mountain bike. That was a real challenge. Someone had to change a tire on their Jeep near the top and lost control of the spare which rolled and bounced, 50 feet in the air at times, into the town of Telluride. It T-Boned, of all vehicles, a brand new, top-of-the-line Range Rover which exploded into tiny shards. No one was injured thankfully. Lots of adventures to be had in the San Juan and Cimmeron Mountains. Check out Owl Creek Pass in the Cimmeron's outside of Ridgway next time you're out here. Very scenic. Take time to hike Wetterhorn Pass. That and Highland Mary Lakes out of Silverton are the two most popular hikes in the area. Both would make spectacular drone footage! Neither is considered to be difficult hiking. Great video. Now I want a drone. Thanks!

[@Zairn12345]

Great story!

[@DirtShy]

Wow, losing the spare near the top and it made all the way to telluride, it must of been near the speed of sound by then. That range rover never stood a chance.

[@punk303]

As a Colorado boy, I will go ahead and say that Imogene is one of our hidden gems. The road does get pretty narrow, but I don't think it's nearly as sketchy as the decent into Telluride on Black Bear. I was actually Up in Ouray/Silverton area a few weeks ago and neither pass was open all the way through, But i did find a campsite abover Silverton right at timberline with one of the best views I've ever seen from a tent.

[@darrellgoodman9585]

Been on the Trail from lake city over to Silverton in a 81 GMC K 2500 DIESEL WITH LOCKING HUBS AND A CAMPER SHELL . Two or 3 yrs earlier we tried Imogene from Ouray to Telluride got stopped by super deep snow I believe this was late may early June .

[@TravelerBrad]

I’ve done this pass with a friend and horses. Spent ten days on the trail. You did a wonderful job video taping this but do it by horse with some climbing gear, there are some places that you find old trails, homesteads that have not been touched for a hundred years. Places where you can stay for days and be utterly alone except for wildlife. Again, I want to say great job, even in a truck you must be white knuckling that steering wheel on some of the trail. Thanks.

I live in Florida and visited this area about thirty years ago, then finally got around to taking my wife out there last summer. We visited Ouray and Telluride via the asphalt highways, but we would have loved to ride along with you on the trail over Imogene Pass.

At night you could hear the wolves nearby. No signs of bears. Probably one of the most beautiful places on earth other than the top of Half-Dome in Yosemite.

[@charlesb4267]

I perked up at your comments ( I live in Canada so its a drive to get down there ) as I went on a driving/camping trip in 2007 in July to explore some of the four wheel drive trails I thought I could dare do in my extended cab half ton chevy which is certainly not the hot setup for trails and got a lot of looks and comments of amazement .. way too big, horrible turning radius etc but just added to the challenge and yes I did do Imogene. But also on that trip I went down to northern Arizona and over to Death Valley and was that ever hot, then up to the east side of Yosemite and into the park and hiked to the top of Half Dome and that was a challenge for my body to put it mildly. What a spectacular place in Yosemite though but oh so crazy busy.

This brings back memories. My Mom, Dad, Sister and I took Imogene Pass from Ouray to Telluride in August 1973. We had an old 42 Willis Jeep. Our next door neighbors joined us is a separate Jeep. My Mom and Sister had their eyes closed most of the time. One thing I missed though (it may not still exist with the development of Telluride) was the switchback down the mountain into Telluride. The turns were so sharp that large jeeps had to drive down one switchback and back down the next one since they couldn't make the turns.

I am too old to do this anymore, I miss it but you brought me back to my exploring days, Thank you your awesome...

[@thrutheveil74]

You're an exceptional human RFB. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Peace.

I did this amazing ride on a dirt bike with a partner a couple of years ago. One of the most beautiful places I’ve seen. It remains me of Patagonia/ Chile, my native country. I love Telluride, although expensive, it has a lot of fun to offer. I love your rig!

Yuppieville.

[@gailscott5130]

Wow! Talk about nerves of steel to drive that mountain not only up but back down. You are absolutely the best Richie. If ever I'm in a bind I'd like you as my copilot. That takes 4x4ing to a whole new level. Great job. Awesome footage.

[@NanneeB]

Wow Richie!! What a wonderful, beautiful ride! I thought I was right there with you and at times I caught myself holding my breath! Thank you so much for putting this together and sharing it. No way I would ever get there but wow what a wonderful thing to go there with you. God bless and keep you dear brother❤️🙏🏼

[@mortalchap3457]

Epic footage and awesome driving. Thank you for sharing this, i am impressed.

[@sheldonc7412]

This was awesome & also timely because I'm doing Imogene & engineer passes in about 10days time! Nice camera angles!

[@MrJimmymeeks]

Loved your video. In Colorado, many years ago, I did, Mount Evans, Independence Pass and Trail Ridge Road. Your video brought back many wonderful memories. And what a wonderful way to escape high above and away from the insanity of 2020.

[@jonathanmustain4048]

I just drove this yesterday with my dad. It is definitely not for the faint of heart. Tom Boy was absolutely beautiful.

[@steveloomis4086]

Been there many times on a motorcycle. Much better visibility. Love it. Also love your Land Cruiser 80 Series. Your commentary is a bit over the top, but informative. thanks.

[@rlb96]

I've never seen anyone else do the camera view from the axle. The view of the trail was amazing. Would like to see more of that in your videos.

[@TerryDinsmore]

Thanks for the great Imogene tour today! My husband was a tour driver for San Juan Scenic Jeep Tours for 10 years in the '80s & '90s, and our kids grew up bouncing through the mountains with daddy. He died 20 years ago and I haven't been over Imogene in a long time. Really enjoyed the 'ride'!

[@nikipage7096]

Richie this was an awesome video to experience. I have never commented on anything via KZbin before. I just wanted to let you know I think you did a fabulous job on this. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful part of our country with all of us. everything that’s going on in our world currently, many of us forget to ‘stop & smell the roses’, and either take for granted or have forgotten how beautifully breathtaking parts of our country truly are.

I snowboarded Telluride once. Found out why they call it ToHellYouRide.

[@ItsMeNanaD71]

I get enough adrenaline from The Million Dollar highway, I'll never make it up a pass like that. Its beautiful, thanks for recording it & sharing with us.

[@rogersmith7396]

Try Ophir pass. Considered easy but I find it terrifying. They plow it in the winter.

[@dirtfreek]

I am PNW bound these days but I lived in Durango for 30 years and I've done that drive and many others nearby many times in my vehicles and motorcycles. It's a must do at least once every year. Thanks for the memories!!

[@larryok8156]

Great video... my grandfather used to take me and my brother over the pass, black bear and others in the mid 70s in a stock scout. Great memories and trout fishing with him. Used to spend my summers in Ouray

[@TsarTrail]

Really awesome video Richie. Wish we could have meet you up there. Last year we had a Faith Defining experience on Imogene. Faith testing and refining. " NASA rover" lol, love it.

[@a-a-ron936]

Can't wait...I'm going in a couple days

[@phenowebb391]
