1. Have a solid breakfast on the morning of each day hike.
2. Take whatever high-carbo energy snacks you prefer, with plenty in reserve. Include electrolyte replacement powder to add to your water.
3. Most important of all is to drink plenty of water during the hike. I drink a little every 15 minutes or so, instead of one big drink occasionally. This will help stave off altitude sickness. A good thing to remember is that if you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated.
4. Allow plenty of rest time during the hike; don't push it.
