A trip up through a mountain pass in a car is one thing but hiking to those elevations will be difficult. Having COPD and exerting yourself in a low oxygen atmosphere if you're not aerobically fit at altitude doesn't sound good.
Altitude sickness can affect people in as little as 5000 feet above sea level. I get mountain misery for about three days as soon as I get a mile above sea level. Then acclimate and am fine but those are extreme altitudes.
