Buy a $99 gps unit at China-mart
it will tell you withing a foot what elevation your at.

If you just want to know how high a mountain is
just type the mountain name into the Google search
box and there will be more info than you could every hope to read...

Get a hand held Global Positioning System (GPS).

These systems are designed to tell you you're exact location.
Many of them will then also tell you the elevation of your current position.

Try Topographic maps (in U.S. anyway)
