Question

What is the Saturday brunch?

Question

Why does elevation matter?

Answer

Durango, CO is at 6,500 feet of elevation above sea level. Once at the venue, the elevation increases to 9,000 - 10,500 feet. The air becomes very thin at higher elevations, making it more difficult to breathe.

Question

What are some ways to minimize effects of elevation?

Answer

Hydrate more than usual, arrive early to acclimate if you can, avoid overexertion, eat well, and be mindful of alcohol consumption as the effects are amplified at altitude.
