Imogene Pass
August 29, 2010
After a good night's sleep along the Jersey Jim Lookout Loop trail, I continued northeast towards the Jersey Jim Lookout.
From the 1930's through the 1970's fire lookout towers were at the heart of the Forest Service fire detection system. By the 1980's these towers became obsolete as individual lightning strikes are now recorded by satellite and most forest fires are detected by airplanes. This tower is available to the public for nightly rental.
Next I took a quick detour from the Jersey Jim Lookout Loop onto the Gold Run Loop.

After finishing up both loops, I decided it was time to start heading back home. I headed northwest on CO 145 to Telluride and then made my way over Imogene Pass to Ouray so I could finish my drive home. I've been over Imogene Pass a number of times and the scenery never gets old :)

Great trip report. I would love to do something like this. What would the passes be like over Thanksgiving? Lots of snow?
