The West and East Mitten Buttes (also known as the Mittens) are two buttes in the Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park in northeast Navajo County, Arizona. When viewed from the south, the buttes appear to be two gigantic mittens with their thumbs facing inwards.

The Mittens 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.

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 (1 km) to the south and, with Sentinel Mesa, a more extensive plateau, towards the north-west.

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.

Born and raised in Central New York, my fascination with freezing moments in time began decades ago when I took my very first Polaroid snapshot. In recent years, the introduction of digital photography has proven to be a game-changer with its limitless opportunities. Utilizing this avenue, I strive to capture unique, eye-catching images while concentrating on color vibrance, energy and breathtaking beauty.
