About
Eggshell Arch and the surrounding areas are the most stunning scenery on Navajo land. Located within the Naat’tsis’aan (Navajo Mountain) Scenic Road, this beautiful hidden arch provides an iconic image to tourists and photographers with a golden glow, during certain times a year. With the sun setting directly behind the arch, it provides a super glow effect from the light bouncing off the canyon wall below. This area is also a great place to just get away from life’s busy schedule and enjoy the peaceful scenery of natures surrounding and canyon terrain. The trail to the Arch is rough in terrain (rocky and bumpy).
