Shiprock and Crescent Moon, New Mexico

The crescent moon hovers over Shiprock, a prominent peak in northwestern New Mexico. Early European settlers thought the peak resembled a sailing schooner. The Navajo people, who settled the area first, called it "Rock with Wings." Their legend states a great bird guided them from the North to settle in the present-day Four Corners area of the United States near where this peak is located.
