Ship Rock, named for its resemblance to a 19th century clipper ship, rises more than 1,500 feet from the desert plain to a peak elevation of 7,177 feet above sea level, and is visible all along this portion of IR-13. Known as "Tse'-Bit'a'i" or "winged rock," it is the subject of Navajo legends. The area surrounding the formation, considered sacred, is closed to the public.
