Hummer in the Rockies
Out visiting my son in Telluride, CO we decided to see how the H2 does on Imogene Pass compared to his H3 - he likes the H2 better, no suprprise there! This is one trail that everyone with a Hummer should do once in their lives. The views are spectacular at 13,000 ft at the crest, we lucked out with a crystal clear day.
The H2 ran cool and no boiling at 13,000 ft (with the warm day I'll bet the pressure altitidue was close to 14,000 ft). Most of the snow is gone and my biggest concern was going under some of the rock overhangs and traffic coming the other way with sheer drop offs. Telluride is still one of my favorite 4 X 4 areas in the US but was a little crowded with the Bluegrass Festival coming up. With all the construction and building, you would never know we are in a recession in Telluride.
We counted 1 H1, 5 H2s and 4 H3s on the main drag in Telluride, yesterday. These people appreciate Hummers!
