!H simply means that the host is unreachable. Whether this is because of an
access list or that the host is disconnected or turned off is left to the
imagination of the person receiving  the !H notification. Odds are that
unless you have physical access to the host in question you will not ever
learn why the host was unreachable.

This is where I am getting my info..

Ref:  chapter 8 of Intro to Cisco Router Configuration
pages 229-230

It says responses to trace command include:
!H   The probe was rceived by the router, but not forwarded, usually due to
an
access list.
P    The protocol was unreachable
N    The network was unreachable
U    The port was unreachable
*    Timout
