From Denver we head for the mountains, and Colorado’s famed 12, 13, and 14,000-foot peaks. While the view and the challenge are exhilarating, the altitude is very real, and coming from sea level to 10,000-feet poses some risk.

Altitude sickness is the result of not having enough time to acclimatize to a reasonable altitude after coming from near sea level. The symptoms of altitude sickness include headache, nausea, shortness of breath, and inability to exercise. The symptoms are exacerbated by activity such as strenuous hiking or skiing.

If time allows, we suggest staying in Denver for a night prior to heading up into the Mountains.
