The range trends north-northeast and also parallels a north-flowing stretch of the Bear River, with Woodruff, Randolph, and Sage Creek Junction on the river's west bank and bordering the eastern Monte Cristo Range foothills.
At the range's center-northwest foothills, in the north of Ant Valley, is the Hardware Ranch Wildlife Management Area. The main, north-northeasterly ridgeline, forms the county boundaries between Cache County (west) and Rich County (east).
