I'm going out to Colorado and will be doing a little hiking while I'm there. The hike will be a short day hike- 9.5 miles long but it starts around 11,000 feet and ends at 13,000 feet. I live near the coast so the elevation will definitely be factor. Do I need to consider taking medicine for altitude sickness or will it not be a factor since the hike will be so short?
I've gotten a lot of use from reading this forum before for my AT hikes so I figured I'd go ahead and post here. I hope that this is the best place to post this question.
Thanks in advance.
