Navajo Mountain

Photograph of Navajo Mountain looming over tall cliffs above Lake Powell.

Photograph of Navajo Mountain. The domed shape of Navajo Mountain was caused by an igneous intrusion known as a laccolith. The Carmel and Entrada Formations overlie the cliffs of Navajo Sandstone that rise from lake level. High-level alluvial fans shed off Navajo Mountain cap outcrops of Entrada Sandstone. These fans are about 500,000 years old.
