Queen Nefertiti Rock
Pillar in Grand County, Utah
About
Queen Nefertiti Rock is a 4,741-foot-elevation (1,445-meter) pillar in Grand County, Utah. The feature is located within Arches National Park and like many of the rock formations in the park, Queen Nefertiti Rock is composed of Entrada Sandstone. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 400 feet (122 meters) above the Park Avenue Trail in 0.1 mile (0.16 km). Precipitation runoff from Queen Nefertiti Rock drains to the nearby Colorado River via Courthouse Wash. This landform's descriptive toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names, and is so named because the feature resembles the head of Queen Nefertiti.
