We are thrilled to have you join us for our special day in this breathtaking mountain destination! Before your travels, we want to reiterate a few points to ensure your safety and comfort as you navigate the higher altitudes. Here are some essential tips to help you prepare: Altitude Awareness: - Our wedding location in Keystone, CO sits at a high altitude of 9,280 feet and Timber Ridge Lodge (our venue) is located at nearly 12,000 feet above sea level. The air here can be very thin. It's crucial to be mindful of the potential effects of altitude sickness. - Symptoms of altitude sickness may include headaches, nausea, dizziness, and shortness of breath. While most people adapt to the altitude without any issues, it's essential to be aware of these signs. Preparation Tips: - Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water before and during your stay to help your body adjust to the altitude (when you think you've had enough water, please have more!) - Acclimate: If possible, we recommend coming out the day/night before to allow your body to get acclimated. - Avoid alcohol and caffeine before, when you first arrive & be sure to pace yourself: These libations can dehydrate you and exacerbate altitude-related symptoms. Love is intoxicating and so is drinking at 11,440ft elevation! Please, please be responsible, pace yourself and listen to your body! Special Considerations: - If you have any underlying health conditions, such as heart or respiratory problems, please consult your healthcare provider before traveling to a high-altitude location. - Individuals with severe altitude sickness may require oxygen supplementation (details in next bullet) and/or fluid therapy (www.mobileivcolorado.com) - Portable oxygen concentrators offer a valuable precautionary measure, and you can easily rent them at coloradomountainoxygen.com by calling (720-608-1003).
