Visiting Colorado
When you come to LCP, you will be playing pinball more than a mile above sea level! Adjusting to elevation can make an impact on some folks. We recommend getting good quality sleep and drinking extra water.
Please don't forget to bring your reusable water bottle.
This elevation also means you are closer to the sun, so having sunscreen and chapstick on hand is vital, especially if you are out hiking or enjoying the great outdoors.
Colorado weather is gorgeous and typically sunny, but the weather can fluctuate quite a bit within a day’s time. Bring layers to adjust to brisk mornings, sunny days, possibly windy or stormy afternoons, and cool evenings.
