Question
How should I prepare for High Elevation (7,523′)?
Answer
Acclimating to high elevation should be taken seriously. Several days before you arrive and during your entire stay increase your water intake to several quarts a day. Yet the body needs more than water. Too much water by itself can throw your body off-balance. You need salt and electrolytes to keep your system operating healthily. Some low- or no-sugar sports drinks have the proper amount of salt and electrolytes to help you maintain or regain that balance. Also, staying at a lower elevation at the beginning of your trip will help you acclimatize. We recommend exploring Denver when you arrive, then make your way up to the mountains. Symptoms of Altitude Sickness: headache, feeling and being sick, dizziness, tiredness, loss of appetite, shortness of breath. Please take it slow and listen to your body!
Question
What time does the reception end?
