Question

Where is Longmont, CO and what is the elevation?

Answer

Longmont is a small city in Colorado, just Northeast of Boulder and 33 miles Northwest of Denver. It's elevation is only 4,984 ft. We think Longmont has the best of both worlds: gorgeous views of the Front Range and a more friendly elevation for out of town visitors

Question

What should I know about visting at high altitude?

Answer

Although Longmont isn't considered high altitude, you might want to venture further into the mountains during your stay in Colorado. Some people will experience acute high altitude sickness at only 8,000 ft above sea level and cases will vary between mild (headache, nausea/vomitting, and rapid heartrate, etc.) to severe (coughing, chest congestion, difficulty walking and with balance). Even if you aren't traveling to the mountains it's recommended that you drink PLENTY of water on your trip out here and that you monitor your alcohol intake (drinks will hit you quicker & harder). Also you can eat foods high in potassium/other electrolytes and be mindful of your physical activity to prevent high altitude symptoms. You are less likely to experience symptoms if you acclimate more slowly, so maybe wait a day or two before exploring the mountains Please reach out if you have further questions and concerns!
