Geologically, it is related to the much larger South Mountain Batholith, but the two are geologically distinct areas. Many of the hills have steep cliffs on one or more of their sides, some featuring vertical drops in excess of 50m (160ft); as a result, many of the taller hills offer extensive views despite their relatively low elevation.
