Every engine I every ran at a higher elevation had to have the mixture leaned out.

From the deal that the air is thinner at a higher elevation, to maintain the same air-fuel ratio would require less fuel.

The carbs on most of our model gas engines have a atmospheric balanced demand regulator in them that partially compensates for the thinner air.
