In mountainous areas of the States, the elevation is posted on signs instead of giving the population of a town or city. For instance, Moriarty is 6,206’ above sea level but when we camped overnight at Raton Pass, practically on the border of New Mexico and Colorado, we were 7,843’ high. That was the highest point we've stayed at so far.
When the air is thin at high elevations, the altitude can lead to some people becoming light-headed but we don’t seem to be affected by it; at least we don’t think so!
