Hello

[Robert Hague]

Greetings from NH. I am currently in the process of planning a trip to Utah for the end of May and beginning of June 2015. Currently our plan takes us to all of the National Parks over a two week period. My concern is that I live in an area that is only about 1200 feet above sea level. Our highest mountain is Mount Washington at just over 6200 feet. What can I do to prepare to hike (short ones) in the National Parks at such a high altitude? Any information is greatly appreciated.

I would hike mt washington. The parks all range in elevation but the highest sustaind elevation is probably Bryce Canyon and its as a guess around 6000 feet. The rest are lower.

Bryce is around 8000-9000 feet.

Ok I was wrong apparently bryce canyon is 8-9,000 ft. But in my opinion bryce is the worst of utahs parks so if its that big a problem id just skip it. I was just trying to let you know that southern utah parks are not really that high.
