Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Agathla Peak, Monument Valley is a 1,400 feet (457 meter) peak found south of Monument Valley in Arizona seven miles (11 kilometers) north of Kayenta, Arizona.

Because of its height and the flatness of the surrounding area, it is easily seen from the Kayenta - Monument Valley Scenic Road on US 163. The Native American Navajo people consider the peak to be sacred and they think of it as a “sky supporter.”

It goes by other names such as the “place of wool and hair” because of the fact that these collected on the rocks as the antelope and deer brushed against them. It is also known as “El Capitan” because of its size and location at the entrance to the valley.
