Our flight into Denver was smooth, uneventful, and 10 minutes early! Unheard of nowadays, but we were happy to arrive sooner than later. Seeing the mountains and taking a few hikes were some of our goals for this trip, and we were ready to "get at it" and enjoy time away from the daily grind (not coffee).
The altitude is definitely a force to be reckoned with, for those of us from the relatively low-lying east coast. Our pace for our first hike might be considered slow, but it was really the best we could manage. We did our best to keep hydrated and took many breaks, and we did see everything we had planned for that day. The most amazing thing about this altitude is that no matter how deep you breathe, there never seems to be enough oxygen!
