SUMMIT COUNTY, Colo. â Starting on July 30, all visitors to a popular 14,000-plus-foot peak in Summit County and its trailhead will need to either reserve parking online or use a free shuttle.
The county will start the Quandary Peak Shuttle & Parking pilot program this summer to address safety issues related to limited parking and access at the trailhead for the 14,265-foot mountain. The program was started through a partnership between Summit County, the U.S. Forest Service, Towns of Blue River and Breckenridge, and Colorado Springs Utilities.
These new rules also apply to the McCullough Gulch trailhead, which shares the same parking area as Quandary visitors.
