Eisenhower cautions on Colorado trip altitude risk
President Eisenhower told about 40 Explorer Scouts at the White House rose garden that doctors want him to avoid Denver for seven weeks due to altitude after a heart attack. He recalled a 1955 Denver trip and joked about doctors’ warnings while urging scouting visits to Mount Vernon and Colorado scenery. The session followed notes on a massive 18 foot cobra snake encountered in reports.
