True, but the air density is so much less in those high elevations that the humidity has much less effect. In that article I quoted, the low humidity will decrease distance by about 1 percent, while a rough figure for the increase in distance due to the lower density air in the high locations is about 15 percent. So overall they're still gaining roughly 14% in distance.
