The range is 36 mi long and 28 mi wide. Over 15 summits exceed 9000 ft above sea level, and the highest point is Kintla Peak at 10101 ft. (While these elevations are not particularly high for North American mountains, they are high compared to the roughly 4,000 foot (1,200 m) elevation of the nearby valleys, making for particularly dramatic peaks.)
The Livingston Range was uplifted beginning 170 million years ago when the Lewis Overthrust fault pushed an enormous slab of precambrian rocks 3 mi thick, 50 mi wide and 160 mi long over newer rocks of the cretaceous period.
