Jakes,
Your best bet at taking something for altitude sickness is Iron and Potassium pills or from the real deal red meat and bananas. Go up the mountain slowly the first day and take your time getting there don't just drive right up. Stop here and there take some pictures. Stay away from drinking alcohol while in camp alcohol and altitude don't mix well for people from lower elevations.
If your gonna go with the iron and potassium start taking pills two weeks before you go.
Being in good shape is one of the best preventors but even people in great shape get altitude sickness. And there's no immediate cure other than going to lower elevations.
