Big Hogan Arch
The name "Big Hogan" comes from the arch's appearance, which is similar to that of hogans. Hogans are a round type of building regularly seen in the Navajo Nation. "Big Hogan" used to be a gathering place for Indians, and was good for the traditional Navajo music because of the arch echoes.1.7 miles away
Sun's Eye
This arch is unique because you can see the arch from a rock formation below it.2.1 miles away
Sleeping Dragon Butte
It looks like a dragon when viewed from the north and a ghost when viewed in the sky from the west. It is south of Flying Eagle and there are a few traditional Navajo hogans just south of the Sleeping Dragon. Parts of the Sleeping Dragon resemble the toadstools, but the cliffs around it and a large gash in the butte's southern side give its identity and location away.2.5 miles away
The Hub
This butte is a two-step butte; there is a large butte with a narrow one on top of it.
