Sitting on top of Imogene Pass in the San Juan mountain range sits a radio tower building. This is the location of this Soda Preform cache container.

Imogene Pass is a rugged old mining road that connected the towns of Ouray and Telluride. Access to this cache is easiest from the Telluride side (6.4 miles) via the Tomboy Mine Road, but not as scenic as the harder side form Ouray (10.3 miles) via the Camp Bird Mine Road. You will need a vehicle that has 4 wheel drive with a low range, and some decent clearance if you are coming from or going down the Ouray side. ATV/UTV can be used from the Ouray side, but not from the Telluride side as there is no parking for trailers at the trailhead in nTelluride. Neither of these towns allow ATV/UTVs to be driven in town so plan ahead if using one of those (atv/utv trailhead coords provided). This is the third highest drivable pass road in the state of Colorado. Cache sits at roughly 13,120 feet, and is a log and pencil only. Please leave the pencil in the container for those who forget a pen, or have a frozen one at the top. FTF prize would not fit in cache, so I will mail it or meet up to give once cache is found.
