Description
This is a stitched vertical panorama of Spider Rock in Canyon de Chelly National Park.
The legend of Spider Rock: It's the legendary home of Spider Woman. Spider Woman sent Monster-Slayer and Child-Born-Of-Water to find, Sun-God, their father, who taught them how to destroy some world threatening monsters. She taught the Dine (Navajo) the art of weaving, and is highly honored for this important gift. She also is a source of discipline of children. She carries disobedient children to the top of spider rock and eats them, turning the rocks at the top are white with their bones.
Note the detail of the ancient granary, a circle of stone at the top of the sunlit rock at the base of the right tower. (One "green box" above the bottom right of the photo.)
This photo is very high resolution, and can be printed out in a huge print.
Note: I do not know the name of the mountain in the background. It might just south of Wpper Wheatfields, Northeast of Navajo Highway 12, near the New Mexico border, but I'm not sure.
