Question
What should I do to get used to the altitude?
Answer
Estes Park is at 7, 523 ft and Allenspark sits at 8,428 ft. If you are able, we recommend coming a few days early to get accustomed to the altitude in Denver before heading up to Estes Park. Denver sits at 5,280 ft and has plenty of activities and places to explore! Remember, it’s always good practice to drink lots of water and limit your alcohol intake. One drink at altitude = two at sea level.
