Colorado Black Bear and Imogene Passes this Summer

[rholbrook]

I have been wanting to take this loop for some time now. When is the best time of year to get through there and does anyone want to join us? I am easy as far as dates go. I wouldn't mind dropping down and fishing the San Juan River right below Navajo Dam while that close to just to close the trip out. I have caught some fat fish there many times and no trip is complete without stopping at Rubio's in Aztec, NM for some great Mexican Food.

We had a trip planned for this summer.. but it seems like our plans have failed now. There are a LOT of large group activities that take place, be sure to research well to avoid large crowds.
I'm totally jealous that you are going to go. Maybe we will make it next summer.

How long would this trip take? If we can swing it id love to go

I would suggest you plan for mid-July or later... the San Juans got slammed this Winter and it'll be awhile before passed open up!

You can do Black Bear & Imogene as a loop in a day easy, I'd also suggest you check out the Alpine Loop (Engineer Pass), Ophir Pass, Animas Forks and stop in Lake City for lunch. Spend some time in Silverton, too!!

If I'm available, I'd love to come join you!

What Greg said. We camped 3 days in Silverton and did all of those runs and everyone was unique and beautiful. Love that place and will get back there one of these days.

This has been on my bucket list for a while. If I'm mobile and on the road by then, I may join you.

I would love to go. When you set a date let me know.

I did Imogene Pass about 30 years ago and it was beautiful. Not that is important today, but my "new" 1985 Four Runner was fuel injected but one of the Jeeps with us had a carburetor and it did not run worth a sh** at those altitudes
