mountain peak
Top of range
A mountain peak is the highest point or summit of a mountain, where slopes converge to form a distinct apex.
Peaks are often the goal of climbers and hikers, serving as landmarks visible from great distances.
The term applies both to the physical summit and to the entire upper portion of a mountain that rises prominently above surrounding terrain.
