Hey everyone! For those just arriving in Ruidoso, go easy the first 24 hours while you acclimatize. You may wake up feeling hungover the first even if you haven't had a drop to drink. Here are some tips.

• High altitudes can lead to dehydration due to increased respiratory water loss.
• Drink plenty of fluids, aiming for 3–4 liters per day.
• Avoid alcohol and caffeine for at least the first 48 hours at high altitude, as they can exacerbate dehydration and impair acclimatization. ​
• Engaging in strenuous activity too soon can increase the risk of altitude sickness.
• Rest for the first 24 hours after arriving at high altitude.
• Gradually increase activity levels as your body acclimates.
