Probably the first of multiple busy trailheads to go this route. Not at all surprising

It's more fun in the winter anyway
Re: *PSA* Reservation/Shuttles for Quandary Starting 7/30/21
I wonder if it will be for everyday or just Friday Saturday and Sunday. I also wonder how early the shuttles were going to leave. I feel like the shuttle would need to leave by 3 in the morning from somewhere paved to get to a couple of Trail heads for reasonable Alpine starts, even on a shorter piece like Quandary. Also, parking anywhere in Summit is a nightmare. Where do they want the Overflow people to park? It would take an hour for a shuttle to get from Silverthorne to the quandary trailhead.

No one climbs them anymore because they are too crowded.
I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.

The vast majority of people climbing quandary do not do a 4 am TH start.Ptglhs wrote: ↑Wed Jul 14, 2021 10:56 am I wonder if it will be for everyday or just Friday Saturday and Sunday.

when you come to a fork in the trail, take it.

Except for Little Berra Peak?
Nobody climbs 14ers anymore, they’re too crowded.

Unavoidable given the extremely high usage. Curious to see how the details will work (shuttle hours, season for system, etc) since this isn't much advance notice.
This for sure! Did it in December and would like to do the west ridge route at some point, but not worth it if I have to jump through hoops.

From the article:
So parking tickets will now be written for profit, of which the county and city likely take a cut, rather than to maintain access for first responders. Got it.... the county is working with the town of Breckenridge to secure the help of Interstate Parking Co. of Colorado, a third party agency that will coordinate permitted parking, write tickets and fine visitors who are in violation. Henderson said Interstate Parking will take reservations for 45 to 60 spaces.
