3 Basic Rules for Denver:
1) Never refuse a glass of water. The altitude dehydrates you and you can never drink too much.
2) Never pass up a chance to use the toilet. The altitude weighs on your digestive systems and can cause a lot of flatulence. And cause the occasional photo finish to the restroom.
3) Always carry an inhaler with you. While I haven't wheezed, the air is thin and the rescue inhaler helps you catch your breath and breathe easier.

We hiked the Three Sisters trail on Monday at an altitude of 8,000 feet, so that's 1.5 miles.
It's my goal to someday hike a Fourteener (a peak with an elevation of 14,000 or higher.) Today was a start.
