Bald Hill and Caroline Pinnacles are two very steeply-sloping hillsides in the White Church valley with a west-southwest-facing aspect and many rock outcrops, especially near the top. This is one of the most dramatic examples in the local region of a valley slope over-steepened by glaciers gouging at the valley-side as they moved down this through-valley and is part of a very large, contiguous forested area in the southeastern part of Tompkins County.
