Agathla Peak, Volcanic summit in Navajo County, Arizona, US.

Agathla Peak rises 1500 feet above the surrounding terrain, standing at an elevation of 2164 meters near Monument Valley in northeastern Arizona.

The first recorded climb of Agathla Peak took place on May 29, 1949, when Ray Garner, Herb Conn, and Lee Pedrick scaled the west face.

The name Agathla originates from the Navajo term 'aghaałą́', meaning 'much wool', referring to animal fur accumulating on the rock surface.

The mountain lies 7 miles north of Kayenta, visible from U.S. Route 163, with climbing activities currently restricted due to Navajo Nation regulations.

This volcanic plug consists of rare igneous rock called minette and forms part of the geological formations within the Navajo Volcanic Field.
