Hey, RCF -
Here is a shot of a ride that I did on DeLorme Topo USA - Tantalus Drive roundtrip from Wilder and Makiki. I got the West Coast edition - $50, with a 30 day free trial.
You can map your route, get the GPS coordinates along the way, and look at the elevation at any point, as well as get a profile. Moving your cursor along the profile, you can see on the map the corresponding point, and figure out what the elevation is at that point. (Notice in the profile map - the blue line points to where I am pointing - elevation 1,630 feet (!), and on the maps you can see the corresponding point).
You can also print our cue sheets of the ride if you are interested in sharing the directions with other people. It's not very bicycle specific, and not too good with trails, but for road riding, it's nice to profile a ride ahead of time.
