Imogene Pass is an iconic San Juan off-road trail that takes you from Ouray to Telluride. Often compared with the legendary Black Bear Pass, Imogene has its own cult following of off-roaders and overlanders from all over the world. In this video, we’ll show you what it’s all about including shelf roads, water crossings, sketchy photo opportunities, and incredible Colorado scenery. This guide was completed with a stock Jeep Wrangler TJ, Nissan Xterra, a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JLU, and a Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk KL. This is definitely regarded as one of Colorado’s best trails, but is it beginner friendly? We’ll find out!

This channel is my creative outlet so I don't need to push stuff out to people. I will promote TrailsOffroad because OnX has bought out everyone else (OnX recently offered me a deal 🙄). Watch my OnX vs TrailsOffroad video to see the differences. Do the trial first to make sure they have trails in your area, if so, then use our affiliate code for a big discount.

About Colorado Mallcrawlers:
We are a channel that aims to show incredible off-road trails and our adventures to get through them with stock or your not so typical off-road vehicles. If that sounds like a fun watch, we'd love to have you as a subscriber! The channel membership was created to give our community the best trail info on youtube quicker since trail/overland guides take a while to create. Video Editors are Drew Hunter and Dewie Jones. We're always looking for more offroad video editors as we film a ton of trails (100% of adsense goes to the editor).
Channel Members have access to our filming schedule and I want you to be in the videos! The Black Bear crew gets additional easy to edit videos but offer more up to date info on trails (since guides take a while to put together). The Holy Cross crew gets more say in what videos get edited for the channel (video credits and early looks at Trail Guide edits). https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZNhgEStKFcR_H63ivHKVUg/join
