Wondering what was different about your activity. It is quite possible that this represents irritation of ligaments or tendons in the area. If you were hiking , for instance, you could have caused a mild overuse of these structures. Unlikely this was due to altitude. It sould resolve quickly over the next few days with resumption of normal activity. If persistent, see your doctor.
