Hiking in California with a Portable Oxygen Concentrator

Whether you plan on hiking through eastern California’s Sierra Nevada range, or the Big Basin Redwoods State Park, California is a state with plenty of great outdoor hiking adventures. If hiking in California is on your bucket list, having COPD or needing to use oxygen therapy shouldn’t stop you. Portable oxygen concentrators are design to help you stay active and do virtually anything you want, even something as physically strenuous as hiking with a mobile concentrator.

First, you need to make sure you’re physically up to it by seeing your doctor, and telling him what you’d like to do. Hiking up to Sturtevant Falls would be a lot easier and less physically demanding than

Mount Tallac in Lake Tahoe, so there might be some things that your doctor will advise you do instead of others. You might need to compromise, but you can still do the hiking you’d like to do in a beautiful place.

Portable Oxygen Concentrator Rentals in San Francisco

To people who’ve never been here before, or don’t know much about it, one of the main things this city is known for is the fog. Some mornings, the fog can be so thick over the city that it disrupts and slows down commutes and all kinds of plans for the day. Even in the summer, this fog from the Pacific ocean can cool the city down significantly, which is why some people call it “natural air conditioning”, and sometimes it can go on for days at a time.
