Be mindful of the difference in elevation, more than 3500 feet for you. You could arrive a few days earlier to acclimitize better.
Ahh crap. I had not even considered the altitude. Alright, I cannot arrive any earlier. If memory serves me correctly this was covered in an old thread. I believe the key to adapting to high altitudes was to avoid alcohol, caffeine and to stay extremely well hydrated - all of what I would be doing anyway. Being well rested also helped.

That is what I was thinking. So I will add practicing how to fill my Camelbak in an efficient manner. I have heard there is an adapter that allows one to use a plastic bottle to fill a bladder using the hose rather than having to open the bladder.

Thanks for the heads up, Toaster.
