It must be very scenic up there.

MOUNT MANSFIELD is Vermont’s highest altitude at 4393 feet above sea level. So, your area , at 4,848 feet is higher than Vermont's highest elevation.

The highest I’ve been is to Winter Park, Colorado........9,000 ft. (dizzying) and Tabernash, Colorado....8,333 ft. above sea level , slightly less dizzying.



Just drink a lot of water and acclimate a few days in Boulder or Denver before going up. Everyone starts out with heart palpitations, etc. but eventually your body makes more red blood cells.......and by the time you are going "down" again you've pretty much acclimated.

Denver really is exactly one mile high. In fact, there is a step on the State Capitol Building that is exactly 5,280 feet above sea level - one mile high. Which step? Well, the 11th step is carved in stone as a mile high, but in 1969, it was found that the actual spot was 4 steps higher. In 2002, it was discovered that Denver is 3 feet higher than previously thought. So take your pick of steps - but one of them is assuredly one mile high.

Boulder is located at the base of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of 5,430 feet (1,655 m). The city is 25 miles (40 km) northwest of Denver.

My son in law’s sister and her husband retired to a farm in West Virginia..........kind of “live off the land” deal....they love it there.

Here is the 5 day forecast .
