JJ:: Mary is correct, follow the roads, When you are high and near the edges of your performance envelope, it is no time for experimentation. I have made several Rocky mountain crossings in our Coupe and we always do it early, and on cold mornings. you must utilize every advantage you have. Don't start over until you can see where you are headed. Prepare for turbulence on the Eastern or downwind side due to the rolling or wrap up of the prevailing wind. Always stay on the downwind side of canyons to enable you to turn around by turning into the wind. Sparky Imesons book on mountain flying is a must. Have a good qualified instructor with you the first time. I have a Summer home in Bridgeport CA, (elevation 7,000') which requires crossing the Sierra this has allowed me to accumulate many experiences in this field. one last thought. DONT GET OVERCONFIDENT, there are many gremlins hidden in those hills! D.
