8/3/19 - The trail is fully open.No worse than in previous years.will most likely be very busy as it was on the 30th of July. No worse than previously.I did see a few stock 100 series Lexus and Landcruisers that were definitely going to get damaged trying.
7/28/19 - According to fellow 4wheelers from Ouray, opened today for the 1st time this season... Didn't run it but met these folks on the top of Ophir Pass....
7/19/19 - I emailed San Miguel road department and they said "The crews are still clearing Imogene and won't finish the San Miguel County side until later next week. They will then move the dozer to Black Bear Pass."
2/19/19 - Closed by snow.
