I should have mentioned this. Sorry.
For example, the Netherlands is a low-lying country.
I want to know an adjective which has the opposite meaning of "low-lying".
"Denver is a ADJECTIVE city."

They call Denver a Mile High City
Denver is/sits elevated above the sea level.( by approx. 5000ft)
Denver is a high plateau city.
