Tips for Hiking 14,000 Feet Mountains
3 things to know before hiking a 14er ๐๐ป
๐๏ธ Altitude sickness is very real so if you plan to hike a 14er try and spend time at a high altitude for at least three days prior to the hike.
๐งคPack layers because after passing tree line youโre entirely exposed to the elements. Wind, rain, snow, and sun are all things you could and likely will experience at this altitude.
๐ Be prepared to encounter wildlife. These mountain goats were pretty territorial but also had no fear about standing, crossing, or enjoying the trail for themselves.
