I believe she was the photographer for these and someone else was driving. They look sweet!

Well then that raises the question of - who was driving? We generally put the name of the owner below the picture in the calendar. We can also do photo credits if desired. Sweet shots though. :awesome:

I think I remember seeing those shots on the OS. It is her truck, a friend was driving and she took the shots.

Chuck, where were those shots taken?

Everyone that submitted photos - please send the full resolution images to jd at offroadtb.com. I'm having trouble deciding between them, so I'll make the call once I do the layouts. Thanks guys!

I took those pictures on the Imogene Pass in Southwest Colorado. The trail connects Ouray Colorado with Telluride Colorado over the San Juan mountains.
The views were absolutely amazing.

Edit: Bit of information regarding Imogene Pass:

Very cool. Please write up a trip report! I went through Cinnamon Pass this past Sept.

I'm impressed that you did Imogene in a stock vehicle.

I'll certainly try to get a trip report up soon, I've got a few good pictures.
And it was a challenge but she made it out just fine. A lift is in the very near future.

Just checked out Cinnamon Pass, looks incredible. I bet that was a blast!

If you are ever up in the area, I would gladly take some shots! I know we are trying to get a group together and go up to these trails in the spring (open, very easy for pass throughs but still some fun challenge areas) but it is up near Redmond Washington.
