[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think if you have active kids they will be fine with the altitude. 2 years ago I took my then 4 and 9 year olds to Colorado for a 4 day backpacking trip at about 8500 feet and they were fine. They were carrying light bags and we only averaged about 4 miles a day so it wasn't super challenging as far as back-packing goes but they had no trouble with the elevation but both kids are pretty active. I on the other hand struggled a bit but I was carrying a 40 pound pack and am not in as good of shape as my kids at this point.[/quote] How you deal with altitude has little to do with how active or fit you are. While being fit will definitely help, there are some people (and not just a few) who just have a hard time with altitude.[/quote]
