Make sure you drink a lot of water. Usually it takes a couple of days for your body to adjust to the lower oxygen levels at higher altitudes. So, try to take it easy the first couple of days. Back when I lived in the mountains, I knew a guy who claimed he couldn't adjust, but he was also unhappy about his job, living in a small town, and life in general. I think attitude is part of the formula. Instead of sweating about not being able to deal with low oxygen, think about what fun you'll have!

Deep breathing exercises help too. Is your iron count OK? If you don't have happy red blood cells, it's hard for them to transport the oxygen that you breathe in.

Enjoy the clean mountain air and the clear blue skies for me!
