Eggshell Arch, Natural arch in Coconino County, US
A sandstone formation positioned along the Naat'tsis'aan Scenic Road creates a distinctive shape resembling an eggshell against the desert landscape.
The natural arch stands as a testament to millions of years of geological processes, where wind and water carved through layers of rock formations.
The Navajo Nation maintains this sacred site, where generations of Diné families have served as guardians of the land and its traditions.
Visitors must arrange tours through authorized Navajo guides, who provide access between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM daily throughout the year.
From October through January, the setting sun passes through the arch creating a golden illumination effect on the canyon wall behind it.
