The range is a highly mountainous area, consisting densely of tall peaks, steep foothills, and difficult terrain. The Mountains border along the northern ends of Hyrule, where a vast, bottomless cliff, an extension of Eldin's Flank of the Eldin Canyon, runs beside it. The eastern range consists largely of a dead and barren wasteland, characterized by its dead trees and scattered skeletal remains. This landscape is also shared with northern Eldin Canyon. Further towards the west, the Eldin Mountains gradually turn more lively with grassy foothills and a few trees, but remains rugged for most of the entire stretch.
