ridgetop
Peak's highest line
The top of a ridge—the highest line where two slopes meet.
Ridgetops serve as natural boundaries, vantage points, and paths of least resistance through mountainous terrain: We followed the ridgetop trail for miles.
The word appears frequently in hiking, forestry, and real estate contexts where elevation and views matter.
