Agathla Peak
This striking landmark (also named El Capitan by Kit
Carson) just south of Monument Valley rises 1500
feet
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.
