I will be taking a family trip to Yellowstone this summer, and, lucky me, my bike gets to come! My question is, should I change my main and pilot jets for the trip?

Here's a little background. I essentially live at sea level. I have changed pilots from 17.5 to 20. Other than that, everything in the fuel/air system is stock. We'll be in Yellowstone for 8 days total. Our campground is at 7800', and I'll encounter elevations ranging from 6500' to 8800' during our time in the park. I don't have to worry about the ride out from Oregon as I'll be pulling it behind my RV. Would it be worth swapping out my mains for the trip? I'm due for a valve adjustment as well as carb sync anyway. So I've got some maintenance between now and the trip anyway. But, I'd have to change back to the stock mains when I get back. What do you guys think?
