Weird.

A) Is it throwing any check engine lights?
B) It sounds sorta like your rad is partially blocked off..but you'd start seeing issues a lot less than after an hour of driving, and it wouldn't come back down outta nowhere unless the blockage is moving.

Try flushing your coolant system, see if you notice anything about how fast the water's moving and such. If you stick a garden hose in the rad cap w/ the hoses disconnected and the petcock off - it should all drain out the petcock opening (it shouldn't back up and overflow through the rad cap).

Same with the block & heater core.

Next time you're driving and this happens, turn on the heater (combination valve to full hot + fan on highest setting), see if that makes a difference.
