We ran this trail right after running Imogene Pass. Though the rainy weather was really coming in at that point the trail ended up being a major highlight.

The first stop was the waterfall on Sneffels Creek and we spent a lot of time exploring and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

We headed up and soon the trail got a little rocky but it wasn't anything like we had been doing. There were no shelf roads and nothing dangerous so we just enjoyed the mountains and meadows surrounding us.

We all climbed to the top and circled around the large area. You could really see for miles from there and everything was really green. The rain was really cold and coming down hard at that point so we didn't stay long, unfortunately.

We came down the trail and it ended up being a pretty quick run. Most of the group went back to Ouray while a few of us went to explore Governor Basin. This is a high one on our list because of the amazing scenery.

We ran the Yankee Boy Basin trail right after running Imogene Pass. The weather was cooperating, and it was only about 2:00PM. We worked our way up from the Camp Bird Mine taking in the scenery, including some fall colors and the waterfall on Sneffels Creek. The two Jeeps headed…
