Stay Healthy, Safe & Ready to Explore

At Peaks Medical & Urgent Care, we see too many travelers whose trips are cut short for preventable reasons. Whether you’re visiting the mountains, heading out on a road trip, or exploring somewhere new, a little preparation can go a long way toward keeping your vacation enjoyable and stress-free.

How to Enjoy Your Time Without Ruining Your Vacation

Prepare for the Environment
Changes in altitude, climate, and activity level can affect your body. Give yourself time to acclimate, especially when traveling to higher elevations. Stay hydrated, pace your activities, and listen to your body.

Practice Smart Travel Hygiene
Wash your hands regularly, use hand sanitizer when needed, and be cautious with unfamiliar foods and water sources. These simple steps can help prevent common travel-related illnesses.

Protect Yourself from Injuries
Whether hiking, skiing, or sightseeing, wear appropriate footwear and safety gear. Be mindful of weather conditions and terrain to reduce the risk of slips, falls, and strains.

Fuel and Rest Your Body
Adequate sleep, balanced meals, and proper hydration help maintain energy levels and support your immune system. Overdoing it can increase your risk of illness or injury.

Don’t Ignore Early Symptoms
Headaches, nausea, fatigue, or respiratory symptoms can signal altitude issues or illness. Seeking care early can prevent symptoms from worsening and help you get back to enjoying your trip.
