One mile from Smuggler up Imogene Pass road is
the Tomboy ghost town. Tomboy once had over 900 residents and sent its
ore down to Pandora which is next to Telluride. The town closed in 1927
when the ore at the Tomboy mine ran out. There is more here than
at most Colorado ghost towns and the site is only accessible a few months
out of the year. The Imogene pass road is rated a 4/5 out of 5 as far
as 4wd difficulty and danger and is also the second highest pass in Colorado.
Do not attempt this road if you are not experienced in off-road driving.
You can take a jeep tour from Telluride or Ouray. Submitted by: Todd Underwood
