Yes, I find the same thing... I get leg cramps very easily at 7,000 ft and when I go to sea level I rarely have any trouble. Hard to walk them off in the middle of the night. Try to limit alcohol intake and stay hydrated.

This is something that has worked for me: I take a teaspoon of mustard whenever / wherever I have the cramps and they are gone within a minute or so. We are all different, but try it and see if it works for you.
