Рекомендации для путешественников
Забронировать до поездки
Preparing for altitude.
Most people adjust to altitude in a day or two if they drink plenty of water and take things slow as they adjust. A day or two before arriving, it's helpful to drink a lot of water to help oxygenate the blood. Once you arrive, continue drinking a LOT of water and limit dehydrating activities. Choose activities that are less strenuous at the beginning of the trip and increase to higher altitude and more strenuous activities once your body has adjusted. If needed, small cans of oxygen can be purchased at Walmart or sporting goods stores.
Что взять с собой
Pack for warm and cool weather
One thing about Colorado Springs - the sun is HOT. Because we are so close to the sun, the daytime can be fairly warm in the winter and quite hot in the summer (although not humid). However, no matter how hot the daytime is, it almost always gets quite cool/cold in the early morning and evening/night. The weather can also change very quickly, so be prepared for warm/cold weather.
Что взять с собой
Protect from the sun!
As I said, we are very close to the sun in Colorado Springs and it's very easy to get burned. Regardless of temperature, be prepared with sunscreen, sunglasses, and water (especially when hiking).
