The venue is a 4.5 acre garden set on a Hillside. There are multiple different areas you can walk around to see. Terrain varies from sidewalk, gravel, and grass.

Question

I am visiting from out of state, what should I know about altitude?

Answer

Colorado Springs altitude is 6.033 feet above sea level! It usually takes a few days for your body to adjust to altitude changes. It may be helpful to arrive a day or two prior to the wedding if this is feasible for you. If not, there are still plenty of things you can do to assure you are comfortable: - Stay hydrated: It is recommended you add an extra 32ox of water to your daily intake for a few days before arriving in Colorado. - Stay rested: Take a nap when you can. Avoid sleep deprivation. - Be aware of how much alcohol you consume as the altitude can decrease alcohol tolerance, make you feel drunk faster (but sometimes you don't realize until you have consumed too much too fast!) - Eat carbs. Carbs help our body absorb oxygen better so be sure to eat up! - Wear Sunscreen! The air is thinner here making your skin more susceptible to the sun's harmful rays. Apply sunscreen frequently and liberally. People who travel to Colorado Springs from lower elevations may experience altitude sickness. Symptoms of Altitude Sickness: Headache Nausea Vomiting Fatigue Dizziness Shortness of Breath
