**High Altitude Precautions**
At 6,035+ feet above sea level, keep these quick tips in mind:

Hydrate: Drink twice as much water as normal to prevent altitude sickness. If you think you have drank enough water, have some more.

Pace Yourself: Physical exertion feels tougher early on, take breaks when hiking.

Sun Protection: Use sunscreen or wear long clothes; UV rays are much stronger at high elevation.

Layer Up: Mountain weather changes quickly, keep a light jacket on hand.
