There are a number of altitude observation fields that you could add:  
[https://inaturalist.org/observation\_fields?utf8=✓&q=altitude&commit=Search](https://inaturalist.org/observation_fields?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=altitude&commit=Search)

or perhaps more properly altitude above sea level or elevation:  
[https://www.inaturalist.org/observation\_fields?utf8=✓&q=elevation&commit=Search](https://www.inaturalist.org/observation_fields?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=elevation&commit=Search)

Might be useful. I don’t see how anyone could use them to easily search for or select observations in a certain altitude range though.
