Agathla Peak
This striking landmark (also named El
Capitan by Kit Carson) just south of Monument Valley
rises 1500feet above the floor of Little Capitan Valley.
Agathla (Navajo for "the place of the animal hides") is
a remnant core of an ancient volcano and unlike most of
the surrounding red sandstone
formations is made of igneous rock. |
