Question

What Is Altitude Sickness?

Answer

We are so glad you asked! Denver is known as the "Mile High City" since the altitude is 5,280 ft and Colorado Springs is slightly higher at 6,300 ft in elevation. We are aiming for all guests to arrive happy and hydrated - but altitude sickness affects about 20% of travelers. Here is what you need to know: Altitude Sickness is often characterized by the symptoms of: • headaches • nausea/vomiting/diarrhea • difficulty sleeping • loss of appetite • fatigue • shortness of breath

Question

How Do I Avoid Aforementioned Altitude Sickness?

Answer

1. Water Is Your Best Friend. With the dry air and high altitude, you need twice as much water as you do at home. Start hydrating before you travel to Colorado. 2. Exercise Is Harder. No, you are not suddenly out of shape! Take frequent breaks and don’t push yourself if you feel ill. 3. Use Sunscreen, Chapstick and Sunglasses. There is 25% less protection from the sun at this altitude, so those harmful ultraviolet rays can leave their mark quickly. 4. Layers Are key! It can be sunny and warm one minute and hailing or snowing the next. 5. Monitor Your Alcohol Intake. Golf balls really do go 10% further here and so does alcohol!
