Uber/Lyft for CO Trail

Post by mikefromcraig »

I'm looking to hike a few sections of the CT, probably 6, 7, and 8 and was hoping to take a rideshare to and from some of the trailheads. Does anyone have any info on this?
Thanks!

Hey Rides Taxi Could help to get to the start of Segment 6:

For Segment 7, the Frisco/Breck Bus stops right at the trailhead. The Frisco/Copper bus stops really near the finish in Copper.

And if you want to do Segment 6 in reverse of what it would usually be done, that same Frisco/Breck bus can take you to that terminus (across the street from the start of Seg 7) and you can hike towards Kenosha, then hitch/tax to Fairplay, and take a commuter bus back to Breck (Park County Commuter)

For Segment 8, it's easiest just to hitch from Tennessee Pass to Leadville, then take the Lake City Commuter back to Frisco.

Also see the CT shuttler's:

All the Summit County and link schedules: https://www.summitcountyco.gov/services ... /index.php

They're all free.

You may want the Transit app to see where the buses are - they are all usually tracked via GPS.

I've done all the one's I've described above.

All I could find was this list of "Uber Cities" which doesn't really have anything in the mountains. No Breckenridge, Dillon/Frisco, Vail, etc.
