Trail Overview

These are some old mine roads you can take off the Imogene Pass and will loop back, whether going up or down Imogene Pass Road. There is a closed mine tunnel with rails, old housing mine structures and a nice view of the valley at High Point Road. Some other short roads branch off of it to other points of view. Mine ruins, waterfalls, wildflowers and mountain streams make this a great side-trip off of Imogene Pass.

3/4 of the trail open. Can get to the peak at 13000’ but no access to Telluride.

You can access the summit but the trail is closed beyond that. Our trip odometer showed 5.4 miles from the base to the summit. I would love to run this on a clear, warm day so we could take the time to explore a little- as it was, more rain was expected as the day went on and we had snow. We didn't stop in any of the mining areas but they look really cool from a distance.

This section of trails over the old mine tailings are suitable for a SxS. It is passable (barely) in a midsize truck and I don't recommend it in a full size - especially the road running the ridge of tailings. The risk of sliding off is high and there's no gain.
