I might suggest you do google image searches of the places you want to go and not just rely on the map. For example, I did one for Wyoming here: https://www.google.com/search?q=wyoming&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjolsXdmJPeAhWD_YMKHSfuAZ8Q_AUIECgD&biw=1920&bih=1058
You might also want to look into terrain maps. Google Maps' satellite view will give you a good idea of where mountains are. You can also use their Street View option to see what particular roads look like.
Better yet, use Google Earth, which gives you elevations for wherever you mouse over. Pretty, um, =interesting= when you're following a route you want to take and realize that it's at 11k+ feet! :B
