We are a blog of information about all things high altitude including the our own experiences as health care practitioners and back country adventurers, the peer-reviewed and published research of the founding physician of our tiny clinic in the Central Rockies of Colorado at 9000' (2743m) Christine Ebert-Santos, MD, MPS (Dr. Chris), our scientific partners around the world in other high altitude communities, and other relevant research and experiences. Stay on top of how altitude affects the body and certain diseases, and how to prepare to travel, live and be active at altitude.

Whether you are visiting the high country for a short hike or ski vacation, planning to move up in elevation for a while, or growing your family in thin air, you will find both anecdotal evidence and more technical discussion about the low-oxygen environment at high altitude.
