Collectively, the three ridges demarcate a geologic barrier on the western edge of the plains west of the Hudson River. The highest point in the Watchungs is High Mountain in Wayne, which is over 1,000 ft. (300 m) in elevation. Other notable summits are Garrett Mountain in Paterson and the Hilltop in Verona, Cedar Grove, and North Caldwell. All along the Watchungs there are county reservations, one of which in Union County is called the Watchung Reservation.
