Shiprock Mountain



The road from Monument Valley to Farmington, New Mexico is pretty uneventful, except for Shiprock mountain.  It is a volcanic mountain which rises 1400 feet above the desert floor.  It is the basis for many Navajo legends.  There are no major rock formations around it so it really stands out.  
I had to cheat a bit and take a postcard picture too as my photo did not do it justice!
