About Me

I am a rock that looks like a ship. I am comprised of mafic magma. If you look close you will see that I am a volcanic breccia.My peak and surrounding land are of great religious and historical significance to the Navajo People. Foremost is the peak's role as the agent that brought the Navajo to the southwest. According to the legend, after being transported, the Navajos lived on the monolith, "coming down only to plant their fields and get water."One day, the peak was struck by lightning, obliterating the trail and leaving only a sheer cliff, and stranding the women and children on top to starve.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Oh desert will you be the proverbial ocean beneath my keel.
