Imogene is the third highest pass in the state at 13,113' (behind Argentine and Mosquito) which was built in 1880 and goes between Telluride and Ouray. One of the best views in the region is to be had at the top. Imogene is often combined as a second part of a loop drive with Black Bear Pass, a couple mountains to the south. Being that the west side of Black Bear is one-way into traffic, most of the Imogene traffic goes from Telluride to Ouray, so you can keep this in mind if you're only driving Imogene and want to face less oncoming traffic. The picture gallery below, however, is traveling from Ouray to Telluride. In addition, if you aren't going to travel Black Bear because of time constraints or lack of confidence, it might ease you to know the scenery is pretty much identical for both, so you won't be missing out on too much from that perspective. The road itself is pretty straight forward and is on par with what Engineer Pass offers, so nothing too rocky, with the vast majority being a gentle dirt road with some shelves. I have also included a few pictures in the gallery of the short spur into Richmond Basin, located on the Ouray side out of Imogene Basin.
