Whenever I want to get an elevation profile for a route, I use mapmyride.com. Terribly slow and clunky, but Google maps doesn't do elevation profiles. That would be awesome, wouldn't it? They already claim to choose bike routes based partly on incline, and decent world elevation is available from google earth, so why not build in elevation profiles?
