[QUOTE="Laverdaguy, post: 1372664, member: 88715"] A good point and idea Ed. Trail Ridge Rd. that goes up and through the park climbs to just over 12,000ft. That ride will help acclimate a bit plus it might let someone know that they shouldn't attempt the Mt. Evans ride. Altitude effects people differently and some are more susceptible to altitude sickness than others. Plus, the higher you go the more a certain gain in altitude will effect you. A 2000 foot climb from sea level is nothing like the difference between 12,000 and 14,000 feet. I can hike and play at 12,000 ft with only a bit of difficulty but moving around at 14,000 kicks my ass. Anyone who gets a bad headache at 12,000 needs to be really careful about trying 14. [/QUOTE]
