Flagstaff sits at a lofty 7,000 ft. above sea level. It can take up to 3 weeks to become fully

acclimated to the high altitude, while GUSLA lasts only six days. Altitude sickness is a

combination of symptoms that are present when your body does not adapt to its current

altitude. The most frequent symptoms of altitude sickness are headache, dizziness,

queasiness, tiredness and trouble sleeping. Anyone who goes to a different altitude than

the one to which they are accustomed, can get altitude sickness, regardless of age,

gender, physical fitness, or previous altitude experience.

Tips to avoid altitude sickness

· Drink more water

· Avoid salty foods

· Avoid over-exertion for the first day or two

If you follow these tips your symptoms should go away in 24-36 hours.
