The mountain is formed through the late Pleistocene volcanisms.[3][4][5] Together with Mount Maria in the Tawau volcanic field, the mountains are made up of Pleistocene dacite.[4]
Since 1979, it has been a part of Tawau Hills Park. Jungle trekking activities are served by the park where the forest trail also leads to Mount Magdalena and Mount Maria.[6]
There are three main peaks in the form of extinct volcanoes, which were last active about 27,000 years ago, namely Mt Magdalena, Mt Lucia and Mt Maria.
