Starting out on Colorado Avenue in beautiful Telluride, Colorado, I take off towards Ouray via one of my favorite passes, Imogene. This pass has a little bit of everything, including blinding Fall colors! One of the best parts of the ride is going through the ghost town of Tomboy, an old mining camp at 11,500 feet elevation. There isn't much left, but you can see the foundations and old mining buildings scattered all over. Tomboy is just incredible.
At 6:25, check out the expansive views on top of Imogene Pass, elevation 13,144 feet above sea level, then take a ride down into Ouray. Going down is always so fun and I kind of treat it like a downhill mountain bike course and just let gravity take me.
