"IMO Black Bear and Imogene is the best day trip in Colorado. Just start earlier and plan on getting done late. IIRC we left the hotel in Ridgeway about 8, got into Telluride in perfect time for lunch and got to Ouray around 8 for dinner. We spent some time in Telluride eating and checking out a few shops. We stopped several times on Imogene because I had bought my sons gold pans in Telluride so they wanted to pan in every stream/creek we came across."
I would have to agree, best bang for your buck. We started our trip from Ouray, ran Black Bear to Telluride didn't spend much time there just gas and right back on Imogene got back to Ouray in time for the dinner crowd. Are you going with others? Make sure the weather is good after watching Bleep n Jeeps video, I won't take that for granted ever again. But Both those trails are by far the most epic if you ask me.....? Be careful and have a safe trip.
