Life at 8,000 feet above sea level requires ample hydration, sun protection and consistent respect of the elements. At approximately 10,000 ft., the wedding venue is located at an even higher elevation than the Town of Aspen. Listen to your body and allow a day or two of acclimation to the altitude if you can. Here are a few tips for your trip:

1. Hydrate
   • This is the best way to adjust to the altitude - low humidity at altitude means that the air is very dry. Plan to drink twice as much water as you do at home.
   • Try to avoid overdoing it with caffeine or alcohol, both of which will hit you harder at altitude.
2. Replenish Nutrients
   • Foods rich in potassium are great for acclimating.
   • Try to decrease your salt intake.
3. Protect Against the Sun
   • The sun at altitude is 25% stronger than at home.
   • Wear sunscreen and a hat at all times when outside.
