Hi Rob, Great question. You'll notice that I moved your post to this existing discussion called "Travel to high altitude with lung condition: Need to take precautions?". I did this so you can see advice from community members in addition to the tips and experience that @sueinmn shared. Please see previous posts from @merpreb @davej @sistertwo @becsbuddy @mrbill

Rob, Will you be flying or driving?

Thanks for the links to the related posts. I'll check them out in the morning. The plan: I will drive from to Albuquerque (20 hours), my wife will fly and meet me there, we'll then drive to Santa Fe, Taos (for the annual Taos Wool Festival of course), then to Flagstaff for almost a week, finally to Denver for our granddaughter's 13th birthday, then home together (another 20 hours). Waiting for a call from the pulmonologist tomorrow for his take on the trip. But, on account of Covid, general uncertainty in the world, me and the medication that I should start soon (OLEV), I think the trip is in doubt regardless of what he says. Thanks again.
