The Southern Sandstone Ridges ecoregion is composed of high, steep, forested ridges with narrow crests. Crestal elevations range from about 2,300 feet to 3,450 feet (701-1,052 m), and local relief ranges from approximately 500 to 1,500 feet (152-457 m). Most of the major ridges in Ecoregion 67 are found in ecoregions 67c and 67h. The ridge-forming strata are composed of folded, interbedded Paleozoic sandstone and conglomerate. Other less resistant rocks, such as shale and siltstone, form the side slopes.
