The Ouray County Road and Bridge Department goes to work in the spring to clear the trails for summer enjoyment. For Imogene Pass, road clearance and opening can be as late as the Fourth of July on heavy snow years. It is amazing to consider that underneath that snow are the alpine flowers that peak their blooms in July through August. Below is a picture of some early season riders encountering the deep drifts at the start of Governor Basin. Here is the communication link the Ouray County road department uses to update the public regarding road and trail conditions, and snow clearance: https://www.facebook.com/OurayCountyRoadandBridge/
