Yes, we do eat out when traveling. I guess I have learned to "try" to make choices (not always easy when eating out). I do the best that I can, and I try to leverage a splurge with a healthy option. I also like to preview the menu ahead of time so we can decide which restaurant to choose. It is not a perfect plan, but it has been working for me. I also get grumpy, if I have to deprive myself of all of the yummy treats.
This year, we were at 7,000-8,500 ft elevation. We did do a lot less hiking this year, though, and they were shorter hikes. I only used my rescue inhaler (exercise induced asthma) on the days that we set out on a hike, and that was only before we set out on a hike. It is anybody's guess as to why, but I think that I am finally learning to pace myself and go slow.
Both me and my husband were more easily worn out and tired, but my niece who is a ranger out there, said that the altitude does have that effect.
Enjoy your trip!

@rosemarya Those choices can be difficult. We went out to dinner with another couple on Friday and the only thing on the menu I felt I could get with low sodium was a small steak. I sometimes will bring my own low-salt salad dressing with me too. The other three people on Friday night enjoyed their meals, mine was not so good. It just is not the type of restaurant where you get a steak, and other things that are marinated for hours, or fried, are not good choices.
I can usually resist desserts, but this one gave me a hard time. It was the special dessert of the summer season. I took the picture to send to a friend, sometimes when we dine with them we will share a dessert three ways -- her, her husband, and me. My husband is not much of a sweets eater, except for certain pastries. His father was an Italian pastry chef!
