Monument Valley - The Three Sisters

Monument Valley was established as the first Navajo Tribal Park by the Navajo Tribal Council on July 11, 1958. It encompasses 29,816 acres, and contains over 100 Anasazi Indian ruins. There are over 40 named "monuments" in the valley. Most of the natural monuments in Monument Valley are remnants of sandstone eroded by wind and water. Agathla Peak and some lesser summits are roots of ancient volcanoes.

The Three Sisters are believed by the Navajo to be three Holy People who have turned to stone. The south sister stands 600 ft/183 m; the middle sister is 325 ft/99 m; and the northernmost sister stands 575 ft/175 m. Their names are Faith, who is praying; Hope, who is gazing up at Faith; and Charity, looking like Mother Superior. That's right, Harry Goulding, who named many of the monuments in the valley thought that they looked like nuns.
