I'm looking for a good solo run and am considering Imogene in the next few weeks (looks like the bridge has been repaired from what I've read). I have not driven it before but from various pics and videos it doesn't look like it should be any issue for a stock but want to check with people here familiar with the trail.
I have a stock 08 Tundra CrewMax 4x4, BFG K02 275/65 (great shape). Many trail reports discuss stock SUV runs.
I have an intro thread with some of my driving background so don't want to repeat here but to summarize I used to drive rock, mud, slope, etc back in NH but in a smaller vehicle. I will be solo though so no spotter of my own if that makes much of a difference. I have often spotted for other solo drivers on a trail and imagine that happens here regularly as well if needed?
I'd love to have some back-and-forth here with some people familiar with the trail before I commit. I always appreciate advice and first-hand info!
And where are some recommendations for a decent but affordable place to stay down there? It's a 5-6 hour drive so I figure go down mid-day, stay the night, start the trail about dawn and come home that night.
Also, where do you usually turn for current conditions (snow?) on trails like this. I'm watching #imogenpass on twitter but is there something better I should be plugged into?
advTHANKSance!
