Run the tank down and purchase a full tank of fuel locally. At higher altitudes they use a different blend of fuel to help control knocking and pinging.

No jumper.
Make sure you have a good 16lb radiator cap and that your serp belt is good. Check your air filter as well.

Yeah, I'd be more worried about your cooling system than anything else. Make sure you also follow the manufacturer's req on octane rating. They sell 85 out here and people have problems with it. Stick with 87 or higher. Oh yeah, and have a blast. The Silverton area may be one of the coolest places in North America.
I used to live in Crested Butte, CO. My XJ and my dad's Tj have never had problems using the regualr 85 unleaded. At the high altitude the lower octane works as well as the higher octane at lower atitudes. As was mentioned above, Get a full tank of the local stuff on your way in to balance the fuel mixture. The big thing though is to fill up with premium on your way out to balance your octane back up.
