A lot would depend on how active you want to be. We're at sea level and I know when John went to Albuquerque, he got out of breath quicker doing the same level of exercise there as he did at home. His HGB runs 11 -12.

If you plan on hiking, going uphill will be more difficult for sure. Even for someone with normal counts who is not used to the higher altitude will feel it.

Staying hydrated will be important too. I am always surprised at the low level humidity in the western states.
