..
Driving up mountains (and heavy loads) requires much extra power and that means extra heat. In fact Driving up mountains is worse than heavy loads or trailers because the engine doesn't get a rest and able to just cruise a little bit.
A 50 - 50 mix of anti freeze, air dams under the front bumper, fan shrouds and a good pressure cap are your friend!
Clean bug juice out of radiator and A/C cores.
Did it boil over...

Infa-red temperature guns are getting cheaper lately.
They can tell you many things about how an engine is running and spot some problems. And...
Can tell you how hot the coolant really is
Good luck Don S..
BTW... If it ain't boiling it's OK...
