Add swimming if you can to your cardio workout. Really helps to get you to breath deep, which is going to be a bonus at altitude. It also helps in building upper body, stamina, in your back, stomach, arms and chest. Switch this out with the elliptical once or twice a week.

I'd probably keep the weights the same as you are doing now, if you're doing the standard 3 reps of 10 at a weight that you can barely press that out as.

Slowly start building up more time on the elliptical until you reach the 60 minute mark. You don't have to do this every workout, but being doing it once or twice a week will help build stamina.

Hike some with a pack, slowly building to the weight you'll be carrying in your day pack. Hike up and down local hills in order to figure out what pace you can move at without becoming winded. Figure to cut that in half when you get to altitude.
