Spider Rock
Spider Rock is a prominent sandstone spire located in Canyon de Chelly National Monument in northeastern Arizona. Rising about 800 feet (244 meters) above the canyon floor, it is a significant geological feature formed through erosion. The rock is named for its resemblance to a spider and holds cultural importance for the Navajo Nation.
The area surrounding Spider Rock is rich in history and natural beauty. It is a sacred site for the Navajo people, who believe it is the home of the Spider Woman, a deity in their mythology. Visitors can view Spider Rock from various overlooks within the monument, which is known for its stunning landscapes and ancient cliff dwellings.
