 It has several summits, the highest, some distance inland, reaching approximately 1,260 feet (384 m) above sea level.The southern face of the peak is remarkable for its striking cliffs, the result of quarrying in past years.Lying within Hudson Highlands State Park, it offers many stunning views of the river and region and is quite popular with hikers, to the point that a rail flag stop has been established on the Metro North line which runs right by the base of the ridge along NY 9D.
