Damn sure wouldn't want to run it with that snow! Probably impassable up top.

It looks beautiful. Wouldn't drive yet but what a view

Nope, but there are other sources.

I'm planning on running black bear and imogen in July. July or August is always the best time.

When in July if it's July?

When in July if it's July?

Haven't decided yet. Will probably depend on a few things work-wise, but I'll probably pin it down here in a couple weeks.

FYI- Per Silverton chamber of commerce.
They report Poughkeepsie Gulch is now passable.
Imogene pass projected to open July 3rd and Black Bear projected to open July 10th.

Black Bear is very doable with a stock JK. I've run it with a 48 CJ and a stock 78 GMC SWB pkup. The road is relatively easy but the pucker factor is off the charts.:yup:

Stocks fine. 2 dr better. Bring diapers

Haha! I need some after going to work this morning. I'll make sure to bring some
