What elevation and bedrock structure are generally found in in the catskills?
The Catskills are an erosionally dissected plateau, with 98 peaks that rise over 3,000 feet in elevation. Slide Mountain, highest point in the Catskills, is 4,180 feet in elevation. Many bedrock exposures in the upland areas display evidence of the scour of glacial ice, indicating that during periods Pleistocene glaciation the entire Catskills region was submerged in ice.
