Colorado Springs is about the same altitude (~6000ft), Denver is only a little lower. By and large you don't notice unless you do something that makes you breathe hard, in which case it'll take you a while to catch your breath for the first few weeks.
Honestly the biggest annoyance about living at altitude is baking recipes require adjustment pretty much all the time, you can't just use a bread recipe designed for sea level and expect it to work right.
- david-given 10y agoA British friend of mine lives in Colorado. He loves everything about the place, except for one thing: he can't get a decent cup of tea there for love nor money. (Because water boils at too low a temperature.)
- wnoise 10y agoNow I'm wondering about pressure-cooking tea...
- Arcsech 10y agoI think the problem you'd have is that good tea is a function of both time and temperature - you'd end up ruining the tea because of the time it takes to get the vessel to pressure. Unless you had some way of keeping the tea isolated until the vessel got to pressure...
- Arcsech 10y agoI just drink green or white tea mostly, which you steep at a lower temperature anyway. But yeah, water boils at 201F where I live, so I know this pain.
