TRAVEL TALK TUESDAYS: An absolutely beautiful glimpse of Shiprock surrounded by colorful desert flowers. This stately geological sight is known as a “volcanic neck,” and is composed of volcanic rock; all remnant of a past volcano. • 📍 Shiprock is located in northwestern New Mexico, and is part of the Navajo volcanic field. • VIDEO CREDIT: @d_kosea_kaptures • • • • • • #shiprock #dinébikéyah #newmexico • • FOLLOW: @cora.a.harris

Shiprock Pinnacle is one of New Mexico’s most iconic landmarks. This unique towering rock formation can be seen for miles in all directions. Shiprock is known to the Navajo as “Tsé Bit’ A’”, or rock with wings. The peak tip rests at 7,178 feet above sea level and is at the center of three volcanic pressure ridges that pushed the rock skyward millenniums ago. Ship Rock is a sacred mountain to the Navajo people that figures prominently in Navajo mythology. The primary legend tells how a great bird carried the ancestral Navajo people from the far north to their current homeland in the American Southwest. The ancient Navajos were fleeing from another tribe so shamans prayed for deliverance. The ground beneath the Navajos became a huge bird that transported them on its back, flying for a day and a night before landing at sunset where Shiprock now sits. Besides Ship Rock’s unusual size as a volcanic plug, it is also famed for numerous rock dikes that radiate out from the main formation. The dikes formed when magma filled in cracks during volcanic eruptions and then cooled, forming the long distinctive rock walls. Like Ship Rock, they gained prominence when the surrounding bedrock was stripped away by erosion. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #newmexico #shiprock #newmexicophotographer #adventure #roadtrip #iconiclandmark #navajo #mythology #volcanic #travel #newmexicoadventures #traveling #iconic

Camped on some Navajo land & got to watch the sun rise on Shiprock. Tsé Bitʼaʼí, or “winged rock,” is on Navajo land with a spiritual & sacred story. There’s monster birds, a set of twins, Father Sun, & so much that’s better told in person. I’m so honored to have these experiences in life, & I’ll never stop being grateful for the things my bright eyes get to see. 💛 #shiprock #navajo #traveling #travel #travelgram #camping #campout #nature #campinglife
