Features and location
The Hazards are made of granite. Orthoclase, a pink feldspar, gives the mountains their pink tint. The four mountains in the group from west to east are Mayson, Amos, Dove and Parsons. The track to Wineglass Bay and lookout runs over the saddle between Mounts Mayson and Amos.
There is also a resort in Coles Bay utilising the name of the geographical feature, and travel information also includes local information about locations from where the hazards can be viewed
