点评:We ran Ophir pass trail from Silverton to Telluride and Imogene back to Ouray. It is a great trail on right vehicle like a high clearance 4x4. While you may have heard anecdotal evidence or youtube videos claiming it is an easy trail done on a sedan or similar, the fact is it is not. Check the age of videos as the trail has gotten worse due to erosion. Pictures and videos cannot do justice to the rugged beauty of this trail.
Do yourself and others a favor and use the right equipment/vehicle for the trail. Initially the steep trail starts off with switch backs on gravel however it gets increasingly rough until you reach Ophir pass. Trail from Ophir pass to the Ophir village is a rocky shelf road with steep downward descent and narrow for a few miles until it reaches the tree line. Beyond which the trail is pretty decent to Ophir village and beyond. Took us 1.5hrs with stops to run this trail on a jeep. Worth every minute of it!
翻译:我们从 Silverton 跑到了 Telluride,然后从 Imogene 跑回了 Ouray,这是一条很棒的路线,适合驾驶高离地间隙的四驱车。虽然您可能听过一些传闻或 YouTube 视频,称这条路线适合驾驶轿车或类似车辆,但事实并非如此。请查看视频的年代,因为这条路线由于侵蚀而变得更糟。图片和视频无法真实展现这条路线的崎岖之美。
请帮自己和他人一个忙,使用合适的设备 / 车辆走这条路线。最初,这条陡峭的路线在砾石上转弯,但是直到到达 Ophir 山口,路途变得越来越崎岖。从 Ophir 山口到 Ophir 村的路线是一条岩石棚架路,向下陡峭,几英里后变窄,直到到达树线。过了树线,到 Ophir 村及更远的地方就相当不错了。我们花了 1.5 小时,中途停下来,开着吉普车跑了这条路线。每一分钟都很值得!
