  PARKING ISSUE
From June 13 to September 13, 2026, a reservation is required to park at the Quandary Peak trailhead and reservations can be made starting June 1. There are a small number of spots and the cost is $30 - $55. Your other option is the Quandary shuttle service, provided by Breckenridge. It's $7, runs 5:00am - 5:00pm 7 days a week, and your reservation allows you to board the shuttles any time throughout the day. To purchase trailhead parking or a shuttle ride, visit HikeQuandary.com. Before and after the reservation-required date range, reservations are not required for the Quandary trailhead.
