Travel Info Could it be dangerous to go to Denver, Colorado for some people since the air is really thin there? Travel Tips I don't think so. I lived in Salt Lake City which at it's lowest is about 4,200 ft. I spent alot of time in Park City Ut. which is around 6,000 ft. Never had a problem. My grandmother had emphasima (spelled wrong) and the dr. said she would be able to breath easier at a lower elevation. If your in good health you should have no problems Others Only if you suffer from a a blood coagulation problem but even then you have actually no problem if you take medication. Some people get dizzy but this is a very common symptom. No more dangerous than the poor air quality in the building where you work every day. You become accoustomed to the light air... No, not really. It takes a little getting used to, but it's only 5280 feet high. It's only much higher than that - up in the Rockies - that people with lung problems might be physically unsafe. We went to Denver for a day but we went by car and so I think we adapted to the height as climbed the road. I never heard of anyone dying just because they went to Denver. some people DO experience "altitude sickness". Is it dangerous? It can certainly put you out of your game for a few hours or a few days. That's why a lot of sport teams are at a disadvantage when they go there. For sure you have to take it easy for a couple of days if you're not used to it. been there. done that. all these folks who say it's no big deal must live there and are acclimated. it can indeed be a very noticeable effect--both my husband and i feel it immediately when we go there. but no, it's not likely to kill you. unless you decide to go mountain climbing and don't bring any water, etc. |
