• Book your flight to/from Denver International Airport (DEN).

• On the arrival day (Monday, July 7) there will be two arrival shuttles to transport you from Denver airport to Lone Rock Retreat:
    • The arrival shuttles will depart Denver airport at the following times:
 • 12:30 pm MT
 • 3:00 pm MT

• In order to catch the shuttles, you will need to land at Denver airport 30 minutes ahead of the shuttle departure time to allow time to get through the airport.
    • Ex: To catch the 12:30 pm MT shuttle, you will need to land at 12:00 pm MT.

    • Flight departures from Denver (DEN) on the departure day should not depart before 3:00 pm MT.

Question 3

WHAT TO EXPECT AT LONE ROCK RETREAT:

Accepted Answer

RETREAT FACILITIES:
Lone Rock Retreat Center is a 7-acre village nestled into the Colorado hillside with connecting trails and footpaths. It includes:
 • a 3-story main lodge with multiple areas for reconnecting, relaxing, and eating; 
 • a seminar building for up to two groups; 
 • a wellness / fitness center; and 
 • 60 guest room cabins spread across the campus, each with one full size bed.

Lone Rock is an eco-responsible retreat center, so housekeeping services will not be provided during our stay. Fresh towels and additional cabin items (shampoo, coffee, etc…) will be stocked in each room and refreshed upon request.

Snacks and drinks are available throughout the campus common areas. Lone Rock has several self-serve BEVI (https://www.bevi.co/water-dispensers/standup-water-dispensers/)machines onsite.

Lone Rock is a non-smoking facility. Absolutely no smoking, of any kind, is allowed on any area of the property.

WEATHER FORECAST:
The weather at Lone Rock can vary considerably within a single day. Dress in layers and check the forecast for Bailey, CO (https://www.wunderground.com/weather/us/co/bailey)to see what’s on the horizon.

When packing, besides the usual stuff, consider bringing:

• Comfortable clothing. Again, layering is recommended.(https://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/layering-basics.html)
 • Comfortable walking shoes; Hiking shoes or boots if you want to explore (all walking paths are smoothed dirt; heels and white sneakers are not recommended).
 • A swimsuit 
 • Sunscreen and sunglasses
 • A rain jacket
 • A water bottle

NETWORK CONNECTIVITY:
Wifi is readily available throughout the campus. Mobile phone coverage quality varies by provider but is sometimes spotty. You can get a rough idea of your coverage using Signal Checker (https://www.signalchecker.com/)(enter zip code 80421).

PREPARING FOR ALTITUDE:
Lone Rock’s elevation is approximately 7,743 ft / 2,360 m above sea level, with nearby hikes as high as 9,700 ft. If you’re not accustomed to this altitude, you will feel it! Each room in Lone Rock features an in-room oxygen supply on the headboard of the bed to help you acclimate.

There is less oxygen and less humidity available to you than at sea level, and a variety of
symptoms can result. They include:
 • nausea
 • insomnia
 • diarrhea
 • constipation
 • "gas"
 • restlessness
 • shortness of breath
 • fast heart beat
 • headache
 • nasal congestion
 • cough
 • fatigue

There are things you can do to minimize your symptoms:
 • DON'T OVERDO - Physical exertion will affect your response to altitude; take it easy for the first day.
 • EAT LIGHTLY AND DRINK PLENTY OF LIQUIDS - You are prone to dehydration and constipation at altitude, so drinking lots of water and not overeating can help. Limit alcohol consumption as it aggravates high altitude symptoms.
 • GET PLENTY OF SLEEP - Overexertion and lack of sleep can result in more severe and persistent altitude symptoms.
 • MEDICATION - If you know you experience altitude sickness, check with your doctor about the possibility of getting a prescription for altitude sickness medication.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altitude_sickness#Medications)

Most people are able to adjust to the altitude within a day or so. If symptoms persist or worsen, please share them so we can make sure you get the support and care you need. It is important that you notice if your body is reacting to the altitude and take appropriate steps to mitigate the effects so that you can have an enjoyable experience.
