I am 50 and going on my first hunting trip in Nov, we are going to Craig Colorado. I live near L.A., CA.

I am looking for any tips for on getting in shape for the change in altitude, as well as first hunting trip.

Until sinus surgery a few months ago I was going to the gym 3 days a week,
1/2 hour of weight lifting and 3/4 hour on an elliptical machine. On the weights I do heavy weight and low reps to build muscle. I assume to build stamina I should switch to low weights and more reps. Is that correct?
