The c.g. is over 8,000 ft elevation, and it's really noticeable when hiking. We get short of breath very easily (yes, even worse than at home!). It's getting easier each day though.
Today we were able to move to a different site. Generator use is allowed between 4pm and 8pm daily. I'm sure the intent is to allow generators to run periodically as needed (for meal prep for example) during those hours. Our next door neighbour felt entitled to run his generator continually during those hours though, with his generator exhaust pointed our way.
We disagreed with that, and luckily so did park staff. Our new site is much nicer:
Today we drove the Trail Ridge Road, a famous US scenic road. We took a gravel road most of the way up (the old original road), then the paved road down. Over 12,000 feet elevation at the top, we did less hiking up there! It was 18C at the c.g before we left, then 10C at the top, and windy.

We talked to a fellow from Colorado on the way back down, and he said it's unusually warm here right now. There's often snow at the higher elevations, so we got lucky I guess. We're back down now, enjoying sunny and 20C.
