Question
Altitude Sickness
Answer
For those visiting Salt Lake City/Solitude for the first time, please be aware that altitude sickness is a real thing. People have different susceptibilities to altitude sickness; for some otherwise healthy people, acute altitude sickness can begin to appear at around 6,500 ft above sea level, such as at many mountain ski resorts... symptoms include headache, fatigue, stomach illness, dizziness, and sleep disturbance. Please drink as much water as possible to prepare for the trip and continue to drink water throughout. Alcohol will affect you much more quickly. Pharmacies in Salt Lake carry altitude sickness remedies, including cans of oxygen, Advil, electrolytes, etc.
