🏔️Heading up to the Rockies this weekend? 🧗♂️
Don't fall for the biggest myth on the trail: being in peak physical shape does not make you immune to altitude sickness. Above 8,000 feet, Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) can hit anyone.
⚠️ Watch for Early Signs:
• Throbbing headaches
• Nausea or vomiting
• Dizziness and sudden fatigue
🛑 The Golden Rule: If symptoms worsen, descend immediately. No summit view is worth your safety!
