[QUOTE="tokatee, post: 1022438, member: 68834"] Altitude sickness is areal concern,when I was outfitting I had to deal with it a few times,including taking people to the hospital. We live at 8200' ,have been here since 84,last summer my wife and I took two of our grand daughters on a horse pack trip to a high country lake for fishing and sight seeing,around 11000'.About 6am my wife was trying to tear the door of the tent because could not breath,we have been making these kind of trips every year at least once a year,or more ,....I Had noticed she had started a light cough through the night,that along with being over tired are early signs of the sickness,your lungs start to fill with fluid and you have trouble getting oxigane,if this happens you must get to lower elevation and may need medical help....I am in no way trying to discourage you,I hope you can make the trip ,I just want you to be educated to the fact there is NO reasoning as to why it may or may not attack you,I would never expected my wife to have this problem,be in as good shape as you can,and it supposedly helps to gain your altitude change over a couple of days,also one of the first signs to take it easy is a head ache,have a great trip to our great state.
