Ten hours seems long. Did you just take your time or is that the norm?Believe it or not but, Telluride, Colorado has an amazing city camping ground in the downtown area at the end of main street. Brand new showers and creek side campsites. An awesome place after spending 8 hours getting over Imogene Pass with 10 motorcycles!

It was ridiculously long! We (2 of us) left the Ouray side around 1pm and met up with a group of 8 heavy adventure riders (BMW 800/1200, Africa Twins, KTM 990, etc...) at the trail head and headed up together. The Ouray side is a f@#$ing mess from all the SxS traffic. The steeper parts are just gravel, scree, baby heads and dugout steps/shelves.......So, just imagine 400-800 lb bikes full of camping gear muscling their way up that stuff. About every couple hundred feet someone went down so we'd have to stop and reset the bike. My buddy Superman'd off his 800 on a giant slab of granite darn near seriously hurt himself!Ten hours seems long. Did you just take your time or is that the norm?
I sensed from your first post that there may have been a few riders who struggled a little on Imogene.. I'm sure the showers were a nice thing to have at the end of the day.Believe it or not but, Telluride, Colorado has an amazing city camping ground in the downtown area at the end of main street.
