Summary
A Phoenix man narrowly avoided disaster after driving onto closed Imogene Pass near Telluride—thinking it was open—only to bail out before emergency crews arrived. Though his injuries were minor, the incident highlights how dangerous these high-altitude roads can be, even for experienced drivers. San Miguel County officials warn the pass remains closed on their side, despite rumors to the contrary. Now, Ouray County is installing clearer signage and updating its website to prevent future mishaps. Always check conditions before hitting the mountain roads—hidden snowdrifts and unstable terrain can turn a scenic drive into a serious emergency.
