Can I park on the road or highway?

Do I get a specific reserved spot?
No. If you have a reservation, you can park in the Quandary Peak Trailhead parking lot on a first come, first serve basis.
Will parking reservations be required and shuttle service run in the winter months?
No. This is a pilot program that runs until October 31, 2021.
What happens if I overstay my reservation?
Cars parked past their reservation are subject to a $100 fine. Parking tickets may be appealed by clicking here. For more information about violations and appeals, please visit the Violations page.
What happens if I miss the last shuttle of the day due to injury or weather?
In an emergency, please dial 911. Cell service is best higher up on the trails where you may be able to place a call for an alternative pick-up. We encourage hikers to select the best parking reservations and develop an itinerary based on their ability level. Hikers should not take high altitude hiking for granted. Please visit the Summit County Quandary Information page for more information on how to best enjoy your hike.
What happens if I arrive at my reserved spot early?
If you arrive early, we suggest visiting the surrounding area such as Hoosier Pass, just South of the Quandary Peak Trailhead on State Highway.
