Training for Altitude

Just returned from a hunting trip in the Big Horn Mountains (apologies to non-hunters). Trip went well, I trained this summer on road bike with sprints, climbing, etc. Thought I was in good shape, lost 15 lbs, legs strong, etc. I noticed everything positive out-there while hiking, etc, Except I could not get my breath after exertion. My altitude is 700 feet, I was @ 6000 to 8000 feet in the bighorns. Any advice for training next year? (other than sleeping in a tent like lance)
