		The ridge is primarily composed of a hard quartzite conglomerate and sandstone caprock overlying shale.
		The ridge is widest (7.5 miles/12 kilometers) near the northern end, narrow in the middle (1.25 miles/under 2 kilometers) with a maximum elevation of 2,289 feet (698 meters) at Lake Maratanza on the Shawangunk Ridge.
		The entire ridge was glaciated during the last (Wisconsin) glaciation which scoured the ridges, left pockets of till, and dumped talus (blocks of rock) off the east side of the ridge.
