Question
How do I prepare for the altitude?
Answer
Silverthorne's altitude is a little less than 9,000ft. Our wedding venue is at 11,500ft. Please drink water prior to traveling out here and continue to drink water to try to avoid altitude sickness. Please also be aware that higher altitudes can affect how you feel when consuming alcohol. If you have any medical conditions, please double check with your doctor that it will be safe for you to be at that altitude!
