The trailhead sign for Quandary Peak is pictured May 21. The 14,265-foot peak is one of the most popular 14ers in Colorado, attracting hikers, climbers and skiers year-round, which has led to the two trailhead parking lots overflowing on busy days and creating traffic issues for nearby residents.

At the Summit Board of County Commissioners meeting Tuesday, June 29, county staff laid out potential short-term solutions to the board and to officials from the town of Breckenridge to help mitigate some of the overcrowding and parking issues at Quandary Peak and surrounding trailheads. Some of the solutions won’t be implemented until later in the summer or even after Labor Day, frustrating a couple of the commissioners.
