My Encounter With Shiprock Peak -- The Gothic Cathedral on the Prairie
While crossing the prairie in northwestern New Mexico, far in the distance, the faint outline of a brooding volcanic pinnacle began to take shape. This was my first view of Shiprock -- the spectacular, 1,700-foot-high remains of an ancient volcano.
The Navajo call it “Rock With Wings.” One explorer dubbed it “The Gothic cathedral on the prairie.”
For me, this ragged monolith was truly a surprising discovery and an awsome sight
