Kayenta-Monument Valley Scenic Road
Agathla Peak, AZ
A 1,400 foot volcanic plug, Agathla Peak is said to be a sky supporter. It became known as the “place of wool and hair,” because traditionally animal hides were scraped against the rock. It was later named “El Capitan” by Kit Carson because of the way the rock formation commands the entrance to the Valley.
