Denver sits at an elevation of about 5,280 feet (1 mile high), which means the air is thinner than at sea level. While most people adjust quickly, some attendees may notice they tire more easily when walking, especially uphill or carrying bags. Staying hydrated and pacing yourself will help.

Sunlight can feel stronger at higher altitudes, so sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are recommended. Afternoon thunderstorms are also common, so consider carrying a light rain jacket or umbrella.
