Route Description: From the South Gondola Parking Garage, head west on Watson Avenue toward

right onto Blue Lakes Road and follow signage to the shuttle turn-around location at the Quandary Peak
Trailhead (Map 1). All roads included in this route are paved and maintained by the Town of
Breckenridge and the Colorado Department of Transportation, with the exception of Blue Lakes Road
which is unpaved and maintained by Summit County.

Distance: 1.9 Miles, one-way (3.8 miles, round-trip)
Route Description: Leave the Quandary Peak Trailhead Shuttle Turnaround and turn right to head west
along Blue Lakes Road for less than 0.1 miles. Turn right to head north along McCullough Gulch Road
for about 1.8 miles to the shuttle turn-around location at the McCullough Gulch Trailhead (Map 1, Map
2). All roads included in this route are unpaved and maintained by Summit County. Slow travel speeds
along these routes should be expected due to changing road surface conditions.

The Quandary Peak Trailhead parking lot has a capacity of 67
spaces—50 spaces for full day reservations, 12 spaces for short-
term reservations, and 5 spaces for overflow per day. Occupancy
was often exceeded, as SP Plus had the ability to turn the short-
term spaces multiple times in one day since their system was
based on specific timeslots. For example, if one reservation was
from 8:00am – 12:00pm, SP Plus could open a 12:00pm – 4:00pm
space. This ability helped increase access to the two trails.
SP Plus utilized three, 14- or 19-passenger vans for the 2023 season.
From June 17-30 and September 6-17, SP Plus operated one 14-
passenger and one 19-passenger shuttle. During peak season from
July 1 to September 5, SP Plus operated three shuttles. Two
shuttles were always the 14-passenger vans, and one shuttle was
either the 14- or 19-passenger shuttle depending on the day of the
week (e.g., the 19-passenger shuttle was often used on busy
Saturdays).
Similar to 2022, all three shuttles made continuous loops from
Breckenridge to Quandary Peak from 5:00am – 8:00am. After
8:00am, one shuttle was allocated solely to the McCullough Gulch
loop while the other shuttle(s) continued to take passengers back
and forth from Breckenridge to Quandary Peak.

PARKING: SEASON OVERVIEW
From June 17 to September 17, visitors purchased a
total of 5,760 total parking reservations, an 11.5%
increase from 2022 (n=5,164 reservations) and a 71.2%
increase from 2021 (n=3,364 reservations). The reason
for the increase from last year is most likely a result of
SP Plus turning short-term spaces over multiple
times a day. In addition, visitors are continuing to
hear about the system well in advance of their hike
date.
Of the total parking reservations in 2023, visitors
reserved 4,088 full day reservations (126 fewer than
2022) and 1,576 short-term reservations (626 more
than 2022).
