High Altitude Tips

The three things to consider with high-altitude travel are altitude sickness, dehydration, and sunburn.

If you are coming from sea level and plan to visit the mountains, it's worth taking a day or two in Denver or other lower-elevation area to acclimate. Either way, take it easier than usual.

Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol.

Always wear sunscreen and protective clothing. Sunglasses and a hat also are must-haves at higher elevation.
