PSA: My first solo overnight in the Wind River Range went from scary to awesome in 24 hours
I did the Cirque of the Towers loop last week and was totally overwhelmed the first afternoon. The altitude hit me hard and I was moving slow. I set up camp early, ate some food, and just rested. Woke up the next day feeling way better, packed up, and finished the last 8 miles strong. The difference a good night's sleep and some calories made was huge. Anyone have tips for adjusting to high elevation faster on a short trip?

Nice. So you just straight up stopped for the day? How early did you actually set up camp, and did you have a backup plan if you still felt awful the next morning?
