High Times: What You Need to Know About Altitude Sickness

How exciting it was to plan your trip to Boulder. All that hiking and cycling, you could hardly wait. In the evening, you looked forward to trying some fine wines, knowing that Boulder has five Master Sommeliers out of only 147 in the United States. Or perhaps a flight of craft beers at one of Boulder County’s dozens of breweries is on your must-do list. But you find yourself with a nagging headache and a slightly queasy stomach. Add to that, you feel oddly tired after only an hour or two of walking around town and you can’t sleep. What gives?

What to pack

Think screening-room polish plus mountain practicality: warm coat, walkable boots, wool socks, sunglasses, gloves, hat, and one outfit that can handle dinner after a snowy sidewalk walk.
