While you are here, we have a few tips to make your stay more enjoyable. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Drinking plenty of water will help your body adjust to the altitude and dry environment. Wear Sunscreen The sun is very intense at this altitude and sunscreen is recommended even on cloudy or snowy days. Snow reflects sun so be sure to cover your chin and neck, too. Drive Slowly Obey the speed limit. Families, staff, and children are always using the paths and roads. Adhere to the 20mph speed limit.
