CO- Imogene Pass
This is the second highest pass in Colorado, reaching an elevation of 13,114 feet. Due to the cold weather, some snow remains all year and the road would not be passable except for the county’s efforts to plow it open. This typically occurs by Fourth of July weekend.
Here is a map showing the road as well as associated waypoints:
The .gpx file includes a track and waypoints that correspond to the ones in Charles Wells' Guide to Colorado Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails Volume 1, Second Edition
that are labeled as follows:
The north side of the pass on July 5th, 2 days after being opened. This is not a job for any ordinary plow mounted on a pickup truck, they use bulldozers and a bucket loader.
