Question

I have never been somewhere at such high altitude, how do I prepare?

Answer

Being at a higher altitude, there is less oxygen in the air and it may take you a few days to get acclimated. The week prior, drink as much water as you can. Flying and higher elevation will dehydrate you quicker than you think. Also try to avoid caffeine or alcohol the first day or two. Continue to drink a lot of water to stay hydrated. We have tested this theory and it works. Also being a higher elevation, you are closer to the sun. Come prepared with a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. We want you to enjoy your time in Montana! Follow these suggestions so that you don't feel sick the entire trip.
