ALTITUDE SICKNESS PREVENTION

Mean elevation is the mean elevation of a county. Colorado counties dominate the list. The top twenty-one counties in the US
are located in Colorado. The mean elevation of Chaffee County is 9,915 feet

The City of Salida sits at an elevation of approximately 7,083 feet above sea level. People who live at high altitudes adjust to the low oxygen levels, but for travelers first arriving at a high-altitude environment, altitude sickness can strike. Here are some things you can do to prevent yourself from getting altitude sickness:

• Adjust slowly. Your body needs about two to three days of slowly going higher in order to adjust.
• Eat carbs. It’s not often we’re told to eat extra carbohydrates….
• Avoid alcohol
• Drink lots of water
• Take it easy
• Medication
