Half Day Telluride Jeep Tour Imogene Pass
Description
Ascend from the heart of Telluride to the breathtaking heights of Imogene Pass, standing proud at 13,114 feet. Our esteemed Tomboy/Imogene Pass tour is the crown jewel of our offerings, available for your adventure cravings from late June through the vibrant month of September.
As you traverse the historic Tomboy Road, you'll find it strikes the perfect balance between adventure and accessibility. This intermediate 4-wheel drive route, with its bumpy terrain and lofty elevations, offers a magnificent ride. Yet, it is not as demanding as the notorious Black Bear Pass and other routes designed for the more daring off-road enthusiasts. What sets it apart is its rich historical significance, making it a journey of discovery and adventure.
The highlight of this tour is the storied Tomboy Ghost Town, a relic of Telluride's golden past and once a bustling hub during the gold rush era. This tour is a favorite for a reason—it's an ideal match for a wide array of adventurers. Whether you're a family with children, spirited seniors, or anyone with a taste for high-altitude excitement and a dash of historical intrigue, this trip promises to deliver an unforgettable experience.
Join us as we navigate the scenic splendors and delve into the rich tapestry of Telluride's mining heritage, all while ensconced in the natural grandeur of the Rocky Mountains on our Tomboy/Imogene Pass expedition.
