At higher elevations, the atmospheric pressure is less. As you reduce the pressure, the temperature at which water boils is reduced. So, it will NOT take longer to boil, but will take shorter. It doesn't have to reach 212ºF at elevations, so it will boil at a lower temperature, which should take less time, unless, of course, you have a lot of wind or something else affecting the time to reach this lower temperature. In fact, the boiling point for water at 500 m above sea level is approximately 209ºF compared to 212ºF at home, depending on where home is.

Definition of boiling point of water?
When a liquid is heated, it eventually reaches a temperature at which the vapor pressure is large enough that bubbles form inside the body of the liquid. This temperature is called the boiling point. Once the liquid starts to boil, the temperature remains constant until all of the liquid has been converted to a gas.The normal boiling point of water is 100oC. But if you try to cook an egg in boiling water while camping in the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of 10,000 feet, you will find that it takes longer for the egg to cook because water boils at only 90oC at this elevation.Boiling point means that the liquid is at the point where it will begin to boil.
