Navajo Mountain, Mountain summit in San Juan County, United States.
Rising 3,166 meters above sea level, Navajo Mountain stands as a free-standing laccolith formation within the Colorado Plateau geological region.
The mountain served as a refuge for Navajo people during the 1864 forced relocation campaign when the United States Army gathered Native Americans for displacement.
Known as Naatsisʼáán in the Navajo language, meaning Earth Head, the mountain holds deep significance in the traditions of three Native American tribes.
Visitors need permits from the Navajo Nation to access the area, and direct climbing activities on the mountain remain prohibited for preservation purposes.
The mountain slopes support the rare Navajo Mountain beardtongue plant species, which grows specifically in this high-elevation environment.
