Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate

Hydration is the best way to help your body adjust to the high altitude of the Rocky Mountains. Remember to carry a water bottle as you’ll want to drink 1-1.5 liters more per day than you typically would. Thirst and headaches are signs of dehydration – beat them to the punch and hydrate beforehand!
