PARKING ISSUE From June 14 to September 14, a reservation is required to park at the Quandary Peak trailhead. 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.
From Breckenridge, drive 8 miles south on Colorado 9. Turn right (west) on the 850 (Blue Lakes) Road. Trailhead parking is on the right, just after you leave the highway. If you took the Breckenridge shuttle, it will drop you off here.

Posted On: 2/18/2005 By: BillMiddlebrook Info: The main Quandary trailhead is closed in winter, but you can get close. When closed, there is parking for a few vehicles at the start of the 851 road. This is just 0.1 mile from the trailhead.
