The higher you are in the atmosphere, the thinner the air. Therefore, the less heat is retained.
In a stable air mass, the temperature drops approximately 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit per 1000 feet. This is a general number only, and is only true in the troposphere, which is 36,000 feet and below.
Also, hills provide trees, shade, streams, etc, which can all effect the temperature.
