Mountain peaks on the outskirts of Baguio reach over 2,200 metres (7,200 ft) above sea level, the highest being Mount Santo Tomas in Tuba. [ 61 ] Enclosed by the province of Benguet , [ 24 ] the city covers a small area of 57.5 square kilometres (22.2 sq mi).
Its summit, rising to more than 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) above sea level, [1] [2] overlooks the city of Baguio. It is commonly mistaken as Mount Santo Tomas, a taller mountain just beside it. [1] Due to its high elevation, several communications companies constructed relay stations and radars at the summit. [3]
This is an incomplete list of notable mountains on Earth, sorted by elevation in metres above sea level. For a complete list of mountains over 7200 m high, with at least 500 m of prominence, see List of highest mountains. See also a list of mountains ranked by prominence.

Its highest point is at 2,255.52 metres (7,400.0 ft) above sea level in the municipality of Atok. [4] It was officially recognized as the highest altitude highway in the Philippines until 2019, [ 5 ] when the 2,429 metres (7,969 ft) high point Kiangan–Tinoc–Buguias Road in Tinoc, Ifugao , was recognized as the new holder of the distinction.
It is limited to mountain peaks with, if known, an elevation of at least 200 metres (660 feet) above sea level, and may include those considered as hills. The distinction between a hill and a mountain in terms of elevation is unclear and largely subjective, but a hill is universally considered to be less tall and less steep than a mountain. [2]
In Baguio, with an elevation of 1,500 m (4,900 ft) above sea level, the mean average is 18.3 °C (64.9 °F) or cooler by about 4.3 °C (8 °F). In 1915, a one-year study was conducted by William H. Brown of the Philippine Journal of Science on top of Mount Banahaw at 2,100 m (6,900 ft) elevation.
Whether in the extreme north, south, east, or west of the country, temperatures at sea level tend to be in the same range. Altitude usually has more of an impact. The average annual temperature of Baguio at an elevation of 1,500 meters (4,900 ft) above sea level is 18.3 °C (64.9 °F), making it a popular destination during hot summers. [52]
