If that's as high as your airplane will go you probably should get another
airplane. At least don't fly around out west where the hills are higher than
that. Sometimes even the ground is higher than that! :-)

I try to avoid the mountains when flying a small plane.

I love mountain flying... Give me a Piper Supercub on floats (about as
"small" as you can get when I regularly fly a C-185 on amphib floats)
and I'll fly it practically anywhere in the Lower Mainland (and we have
a lot of mountains to the North and East)... :-)
