During a camping trip, you decide to take a hike. You hike uphill for several hours. You notice the temperature is getting cooler. Eventually you reach an area with snow on the ground and very few trees.Which climate region did you most likely reach?

As you hike to higher elevations, temperatures generally decrease. The snow and sparse trees suggest you reached a high-altitude climate region, where conditions vary with elevation. That is the highland climate region; subarctic climates are defined mainly by high latitude, not by climbing uphill.
