The Cherskys don't have a top. They have a highest (or tallest) mountain. A mountain range is a group of mountains. It doesn't have one top. It has lots of tops.Is it necessary to include ''the'' before ''Chersky top?'' For example, ''You can hike to (the) Chersky top.'' I think it's mandatory but what rule is it based on?
The word the says it's just one thing, like the highest peak.
So you can hike to the top (or peak or summit) of the one highest mountain in the Chersky range.
But you can't hike to the top of the range. There's not one top. So you can't hike to it.
The range does have one highest point. So you can hike to the highest point.
