Default Elevation test for the 3.5

Ran the truck up to Mt. Evans last week.
The parking lot is 14130 ft elevation.
The engine never broke 1800rpm the whole way up.

I would love to drive up there! I'll be in Denver in October for a high school reunion but I think it will be closed for the season by then.

A bit, but not as bad as I thought. Home elevation is 4400 ft.
I did manage to hike from my sister's cabin at 10,000 ft to the peak of Sugarloaf 12,400 ft (3.6 miles, one way).

I could do the 3.6 miles easy cheesy but I'm afraid that elevation and the climb would do me in! I climbed a hill in the Tetons and my lungs were screaming.
