Upon arriving at the national park, our first stop was to test out our lungs in the thin air by taking a short walk to Alluvial Fan Falls. We lowlanders immediately knew that we were in trouble. How were we going to be able to complete a 3.4 "medium difficulty" hike in two days if taking baby steps for a few hundred yards was making us huff and puff like the old folks that we are?
Next day, we walked around Bear Lake, higher altitude but flat terrain, so no sweat.
