Agathla Peak is a sacred place to the Navajo and it resides on private land, therefore you can’t hike to it or climb up it but you can admire it from a distance and I love to do just that. I love Agathla Peak and driving south of it on 163 always gets me excited for Monument Valley. This is mostly just an Agathla Peak appreciation page. I hope you find it just as alluring as I do.

From near or far, Agathla Peak looks majestic. You can see it from Muley Point on Cedar Mesa and from Highway 160 south of Kayenta and it’s always beautiful in every season.

Take a moment to appreciate all of the beautiful land around you. It truly is a monumental place with tons of natural features to wow the passing motorist. I’m sure if you’re really interested, a Navajo guide would take you through this land around Monument Valley and Agathla Peak.
