Shiprock Peak in the desert of New Mexico USA

            Shiprock is a huge monolithic rock formation standing alone on the high-desert plain of the Navajo Nation in San Juan County, New Mexico, USA. The elevation at its highest point is 7,177 feet (2,187 m) above sea level. The name derives from the peak's resemblance to an enormous 19th-century clipper ship. 

The peak is governed by the Navajo Nation and it plays a significant role in Navajo religion, myth, and tradition. It is located in the center of an area occupied by the Ancient Pueblo People, a prehistoric Native American culture of the Southwest United States often referred to as the Anasazi. It is a point of interest for rock climbers and photographers and has been featured in several films and novels. In 1975, Shiprock was designated as a National Natural Landmark by the National Park Service.
