Re: Imogene Pass - Still Falling Apart?
We drove it last week, the area you describe has been repaired and is
rather substantnial. the rest of the road is in pretty bad shape
IMHO. We took a full sized, crew cab, F250 4X4 over it.
I'd much rather take my Jeep, '91 YJ, but it was not an option this
time.

Re: Imogene Pass - Still Falling Apart?
Thanks for the info. We were always afraid that section of road would
fall away when someone drove over it. BTW, we were in a 1972 Blazer
and had to do lots of backing and turning to get around some of the
switchbacks.
