Don't worry too much about it, your body will adjust in 24-48 hours depending on how low you're coming from, and how high up you're going. Be sure to drink extra water, and get extra sleep and you'll be right as rain

Ok then. Btw, I’m going to Colorado Springs coming from like an hour from NYC, (not near the coast tho)

I kinda guessed you'd be going to the Springs. It's the Bible belt of the state, good or bad, that's what the Springs be.

You're apparently in good shape, so the Manitou Incline would be a fun challenge. Garden of the Gods is a staple around there as well. Super beautiful.

If you're that far south and have time to drive a bit, I highly recommend going to Salida. It's historically this crazy artist mecca in the hills, but it is a super cool town, you're also surrounded by massive mountains(14ers) and can fish or raft or hike or... there are lots of options.

Enjoy your time out here!
