TIPS FOR TRAVELERS
Living at Steamboat Spring's high elevation may cause you
to experience some side effects from the high altitude. What
are some of the effects? You may feel lightheaded, dizzy, thirsty,
have headaches, breathing problems, sleeplessness, or heart palpations.
To make you high altitude experience more pleasurable make sure
to drink plenty of water, plan your first couple of days to include
lots of rest periods so your body has time to adjust, and avoid
alcohol because one drink at this altitude equals three drinks
at sea level. If you are under a doctor's care, it is also a
good idea to let him or her know you are planning a trip that
will include higher elevations. They may have additional tips
or wish to change medication levels, etc.
Since during the summer months the high temperatures only
reach the 70s and dip into the 40s at night you'll want to pack
some sweats and jackets.
Does one of your traveling companions have a button nose and
perky ears? Then, just in case of an emergency, you'll find vets
at the Pet Care Clinic, 1250 S Lincoln Ave, 970-879-5273; and
the Steamboat Springs Veterinary Hospital, 30278 W US Hwy 40,
970-879-1041.
