点评:It is a difficult trail for drivers running Imogne for the 1st time, possibly moderately difficult for experienced drivers. Regardless of experience, the driver has to be very alert and careful to not run off the narrow road in to a drop off. Doable with a 4x4 high clearance vehicle (aka jeep) on 4L if you don't panic and take it SLOW. We rented our jeep from Silver Summit Jeeps in Silverton and ran the Ophir pass from Silverton to Telluride, had coffee at Telluride and ran the Imogene pass to Ouray. Took us ~6 hrs from where we started from US 550 and to get back on to US550 again with lunch/coffee/sight seeing breaks and with rain 40% of the time on Imogene trail. Many spots on the trail are very slippery to walk on, but surprisingly the jeep has no problem crawling on them. Developed much respect for jeep's for what they do.
It is a scenic drive, with overlooks to Telluride, Black Bear pass, Tom boy mine and others. Carry water and picnic lunches/snacks for breaks in between. Remember there are no restrooms on the trail.

这是一条风景优美的车道,可以俯瞰特柳赖德、黑熊山口、汤姆博伊矿山等地。中途休息时,可以携带水和野餐午餐/零食。请记住,路上没有洗手间。
