In the book, I have described my problems with acclimating to the high elevations of the Rocky Mountains. This summary of high altitude-related symptoms and how to respond was provided by a student whose class has been studying nature and appreciation of the environment. It's very gratifying to see young people interested and involved in the outdoor life!
