During peak summer and winter, some popular trailheads like McCullough Gulch and Quandary Peak require advanced parking or shuttle reservations through Summit County’s official portal. Entry to the town is open, but high-demand seasonal activities like the gondola or ski lessons require booking via the resort's official site.
