forested mountains
Tree-covered high terrain
Forested mountains are elevated landforms covered with trees, typically featuring distinct vegetation zones as altitude increases.
The phrase appears frequently in geographic descriptions, environmental writing, and travel contexts to evoke wilderness landscapes where woodland and rugged terrain combine.

Unlike bare or alpine peaks, forested mountains retain tree cover across much of their slopes, though treeline may limit growth at higher elevations.
