Exhaust smoking when we got to the top of the mountain

We decided to drive up into the mountains which are close to where I live. Where we live is about 850 feet above sea level (according to my gps) we drove up into the mountains to get to a certain spot that has a great view, we drove up and it was 1700 feet above sea level at that point. I noticed the muffler was smoking a little when we got up there. Is that because of the strain put on the little 1.6 liter engine or something else? It was just some white smoke flowing out of it as if there was a a few cigarettes were burning inside the muffler of something.

Never seen any smoke coming out the tail pipe any other time, so this isnt regular, just today

Here is the very short recording I did of it smoking, just so you know how much it was smoking... This is with the car OFF
