The Navajo Nation extends into the states of Utah, Arizona and New Mexico, covering over 27,000 square miles of unparalleled beauty. The Navajo Reservation is home to more than a dozen national monuments, tribal parks and historical sites, and is peppered with a dozen lakes and ponds.
The city of Window Rock, just across the New Mexico-Arizona state line, on the Arizona side, in Apache County is the capital of the Navajo Nation, getting its name from the hole in a 200 foot high sandstone hill (Window Rock) located there. It is a pothole-type natural arch eroded through Entrada sandstone.
The Window Rock area is one of the scenic wonders of Navajoland. Tségháhoodzání (The Performated Rock) as the Navajo call it, is important in the Water Way Ceremony (Tóhee). It was one of the 4 places where Navajo medicine men go with their woven water bottles to get water for the ceremony that is held for abundant rain.
