When you hear a fire alarm, see flames or smell smoke, take immediate action to get as far from the fire as possible.

Look for the easiest most accessible exit, i.e. door or window.

If the fire is in your cabin, get low to the floor and evacuate; close the door or window behind you and report the fire by calling 911 and then the front desk.

If the fire is outside of your cabin, make sure it’s safe to exit via the door. Make sure the door is cool to the touch, open it slowly; if all clear, evacuate as quickly and safely as possible.

HIGH ALTITUDE TIPS

You are visiting one of the premier areas in the Rockies, and we hope you enjoy every minute of your stay. But some of the very features which make these mountains so spectacular can cause problems unless you know how to prevent them. The following are some suggestions.

Altitude

Elevations in the park range to more than 9,000 feet, the air is thinner and there is less oxygen available. You may already have noticed that you are breathing deeper or faster and feel a bit short of breath at times.

This is one of the body’s first reactions to the altitude. Your heart probably beats faster. These are normal, helpful responses. You may have a headache, a touch of nausea, or feel tired. About 15 percent of all vacationers have such symptoms, which usually disappear 24 to 36 hours after arrival.

If these symptoms should grow worse or if you are worried, please get help. Doctors here are familiar with altitude illness and may ease your discomfort during the adjustment period.

To aid in your acclimation, drink plenty of liquids. The altitude and arid conditions cause you to dehydrate much faster than you are probably used to.

Sun and Temperature

The sun has more power in this thin air and a bad sunburn can spoil your stay; use sunscreen with a high SPF. It also gets very chilly at night, so take extra warm clothes if you might be caught outside after dark.

Hypothermia (low body temperature) can occur in summer or winter, if you are wet or chilled by even a light breeze. It can also occur when you’re tired and haven’t eaten properly. Clumsiness, trouble thinking or talking clearly, and overwhelming tiredness are warning signs. Keep an eye on your companions. If these warning signs appear, stop, warm up, eat, take a hot drink, and if necessary, send at once for help.

In winter, most people wear enough warm clothes, but be sure your boots and gloves aren’t wet or too tight. If you lose sensation in fingers, toes, cheeks, ears or nose, stop, look for frostbite (white, cold, numb skin) and take time to warm up.

Snow blindness from snow glare and ultraviolet rays from bright summer sunlight are real hazards, so wear dark glasses, even on a cloudy day.

Due to this high, arid climate, you can become dehydrated quickly. Please consume more water than you normally would to avoid dehydration.

Injuries

Accidents can happen at any time to anyone, but they are more common when you’re cold, tired or hungry. Whether you are skiing, hiking, bike riding, or playing golf or tennis, give your body plenty of food and water and keep your muscles warm so they function efficiently. Don’t keep going when you’re very tired; quit while you’re ahead!
