A couple of years back while crossing the Cedar Mountains on Hwy 14 in the Dixie Natl. Forest in Southern Utah I found myself sucking for air. It started raining so we pulled over to put our rain suits on and then it hit me; We were at the summit and about 10,000 feet. The air was pretty thin compared to 4000 feet 20 minutes ago. We do a lot of long distance trips to places never traveled before and I've been using this "elevation" tool ever since. Maybe you'll find it useful too... https://www.freemaptools.com/elevation-finder.htm
Great site to check prior to heading out but your smartphone will have an app that should also give you that same data. Either way, good stuff while traveling.
We rode up pikes peak last fall. Over 14000 ft. Was very fun. Tried running to my bike after realizing I forgot to switch it off and couldn't make it 15 ft without gasping for air.
Been up top of Pikes Peak (14,100) and didn't notice any problems at all. My wife, however, was having a lot of trouble breathing. Pretty much the same at 8,000' in Yellowstone.

The rushmore nav system will show elevation. As do most other nav systems.
