Overlanding at Imogene Pass - Black Bear Pass was Closed (Part 1)
Join my friend Dave and I in this short Mini Series (3 part) about our overlanding adventure through the beautiful mountains of Colorado. As we travel to and overland the evergreen mountain range, we are met with unexpected challenges that make the experience exciting and unpredictable. As plans of exploration change from Black Bear Pass to Imogene Pass, adventure is guaranteed! Our 4x4 vehicles of choice are Two Toyota 4Runners that are reasonable equipped for the expedition.
Part 1: After traveling through Southern Utah's divers and changing landscapes I meet with my friend, Dave, in Green River, Utah. We discuss the plan and travel down the Million Dollar Hyway to Ouray, Colorado. A few miles south of this cool mining town we find ourselves at the Black Bear Pass trailhead where we are met with some unfortunate information. The pass had been closed due to a collapse in a very precarious section of the trail. We decide to camp the night close by as we discuss a contingency plan. The next morning we cook breakfast and fly FPV drones around the campsite. After trail fixing the exhaust pipe on my 2015 5th gen Toyota 4runner we find the 4x4 trail to a local lake called Bullion King Lake. We explore this and the Porphyry Basin in Part 2. Enjoy!
