I find the higher I go, the less likely I am to find turbulence. Mountain waves tend to show up after the air has passed over a large ridge. The Waves can be energetic but not what I would call turbulent. Mostly you notice a series of rising and falling air currents that diminish with lateral distance from the ridge that created it. Under autopilot the waves can be a pain as the autopilot fights to maintain altitude. It would be better to just maintain attitude instead and let the altitude wander.
