mountain meadow
Elevated grassy expanse
A mountain meadow is an open grassy area in mountainous terrain, typically found at elevations above the tree line or in clearings within forested slopes.
These meadows often feature wildflowers and serve as grazing areas for wildlife and livestock.
They're prized by hikers for their scenic views: We stopped to rest in a mountain meadow surrounded by peaks.
