forested peaks

Tree-covered mountain tops

Forested peaks are mountain summits or ridges covered with trees, typically below the tree line where vegetation can still thrive.

The phrase appears in nature writing, travel descriptions, and environmental contexts: The trail offered views of forested peaks stretching to the horizon.

Compare with bare or rocky peaks above the tree line.
