Welcome to Colorado!
Yes, we are the mile high city, 5280 feet above sea level to be exact, but don't let that deter you from your travels. The best things you can do to adjust to the altitude is drink more water than usual and don't forget to eat. Spending a night in Denver or anywhere below 7,000 feet the first day will give your body time to get acclimated. Avoid strenuous activity the first day just relax and enjoy. ​​
