Weather in the mountains is often unpredictable. The sun is very strong at this elevation and therefore it is usually very hot during the day, but cooler as the sun sets and the night goes on. Denver and Golden should be significantly hotter than the venue space.

Yes! Altitude sickness is real! Denver is at 5280 feet and the venue in Idaho Springs is even higher at 7526 feet. Please drink lots of water before and during your trip as well as look into medications if you are prone to altitude sickness. We do recommend staying in Golden Friday night to acclimate to the altitude change. Also, please watch your alcohol intake as the high altitude can potentially lead to increased sensitivity!
