There are a some other effects of altitude to consider beyond just air/fuel
mixture. Since the air density is about 75% as great as at sea level, your
tire pressure will also increase accordingly. For example, if you run 30
psig at sea level, the pressure will increase to 40 psig at 7000 ft. The
altitude may also have some interesting physiological consequences; for
example, a salutary effect related to increased blood pressure and an
exacerbation relative to flatulence.
Just want everybody to be as prepared as possible.
