Telluride Jeep Tours
Imogene Pass
About this Trip
Our Telluride Jeep Tours travel the remarkably beautiful, historical, and technical off roading trail known as Imogene Pass. This journey is one of the most beloved and sought-after adventures in the Rocky Mountains, and the views and rich character from the road itself are enough to prove why.
Imogene is the second-highest mountain pass in Colorado, climbing to 13,114 feet. It was initially built in 1870 as a mining route from Ouray to Telluride. The pass comes with exposure on narrow ledges, technical switchbacks just as exposed, and rubbled sections that require high clearance and a skilled driver. This had made Imogene inaccessible to many, as not everyone is an experienced off-roader with a rugged vehicle in tow.
Luckily, anyone can experience the awe inspiring views, abundant wildflowers, and high alpine wildlife on our Telluride Jeep tours. Our guides are highly experienced Jeepers as much as they are incredibly knowledgeable interpreters. They’ll take care of the driving while providing more insight into the wild history of this area than you’ll know what to do with.
So buckle up, and get ready for one of the most memorable drives of your life! Telluride Jeep Tours start at $129.
