High Altitude Vacation?

Here is a question for you...

We are considering going to Colorado for a week-long vacation in mid-June. The resort we are considering is at an elevation 9,000+ ft. My hemoglobin has been running from 8.5 - 9.5 range (usually around 9.0).

Will high altitude -- on top of low HGB -- wipe me out even more? Should I consider going somewhere that is not quite as elevated?

I don't want to go to this place if I will feel like a complete slug all week...
