One thing that will help is NOT SMOKING! This decreases your available oxygen capacity even further, constricts your blood vessels, and can enable oxygen deprivation, altitude sickness and decrease your body's ability to stay warm. I could
never suggest not drinking( HE HE) . Be sure to dress in layers, clothing that wicks moisture is very helpful to keep you dry. Nothing can cause heat loss faster than being wet. Gore tex outer clothing is helpful for cold/ moisture too. Don't forget SUN protection. You will fry yourself without a hat , sunscreen with HIGH SPF at least 30-45. Eye protection too- If you are driving . REI in Denver has everything you might need. Also many camping and outdoor outfitters all over CO.Remember, the scenery is beautiful but the altitude is a whole different climate. Be prepared for everything and anything. I've lived in CO 31 years and it is wonderful and different than lowlands!! Be a boy scout and have FUNNNNNNNNN. See ya there
