The air in the high altitudes will not only be rarer but also drier. All the water vapor will be used up in forming the ice or snow. So the threefold factors, less oxygen, less air pressure and less humidity must be causing this unseen and latent dehydration.

There is a cog-wheeled train ride to the peak of Pike mountain in Colorado. It takes 3 and 1/2 hours for the round trip. The ascent is at snail speed and takes 90 minutes. We are allowed 30 minutes for sight seeing. Then the slow descent follows.

In spite of all these precautions, my husband would not take this ride. His heart jumps every time he sees the altitude shown in the GPS. Mind can play many tricks too. So we thought it was wiser to skip the fun filled ride.
