Thanks for the uplift. Hope we all have encounters an good weather. Just pick up a second spare tire, for the truck, an have been hiking 4 to 6 miles 1000ft elevations with 45lbs on. Outa breath but doin it. Even have the wife an kids out now. Can't wait to get after some bulls. -

Welcome from Central PA. Good luck. I to am headed this fall for my 1st elk chase. I was out scouting a couple weeks ago an elevation didn't bother so much as water consumption. No humidity lets you dry out as you hoof it, but then you'll be sucking 2 liters down in no time. An when you see... -

Just got back from my very quick 3 days in Westcliffe. Glad to say alltitude had no affect on the wife an kids or me. Definitely get winded quicker. The two hikes we took to Balmans Reservoir and Hayden's Pass were an eye opener. Need to take way more water the next time. It was 90f, but wish I... -

Colorado GMU 86 elk and deer
Coming from a whopping 200ft above sea level here in Muncy PA I am definitely concerned about making camp at 8000 an not even a mile west can be 12000. Best i can do around here is hike straight up to 2000 peak. Been trying to get out every weekend with my pack weighted down. Also... -
