Black Bear Pass, Not as Easy as it Looks

Telluride is located in a canyon and this is the east end of town. The falls on the right is Bridal Veil Falls.The path you see crossing the center is the Black Bear Jeep trail that starts down into Telluride from just above the falls on the far upper left. From the top it looks much steeper but it's is the most fun way into Teluride. The best way out is a trail to the left on this photo, Imogene Pass. This pass is still closed by snow, it goes to Ouray and is the highest drivable jeep trail. Later this summer we will come into Telluride by Black Bear Pass and return be Imogene but today will leave Telluride by Last Dollar Road.
