Description
Digital fine art of east mitten butte in monument valley, on the Navajo reservation, in northern Arizona, U.S.A. The animals in this scene are a rabbit, deer, cougar, and two pronghorn antelope.
West and East Mitten Buttes (also known collectively as The Mittens) are two distinctive geological features found within the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park in northeast Navajo County, . When viewed from the south, the buttes appear to be two gigantic mittens with their thumbs facing inwards.
The two buttes are about 0.6 miles (0.97 km) from the Arizona–Utah state line and West Mitten Butte is 1.1 miles (1.8 km) northeast of the park headquarters.[5] The summit of West Mitten Butte is 6,176 feet (1,882 m) and East Mitten Butte is 6,226 feet (1,898 m)[3] in elevation.
The Mittens form a triangle with Merrick Butte about 2/3 of a mile to the south and, with Sentinel Mesa.
The buttes are made of three principal rock layers. The lowest layer is Organ Rock Shale, the middle is de Chelly Sandstone, and the top layer is the Moenkopi Formation capped by Shinarump Conglomerate.
