Description The Navajo learned their important art of weaving from Spider Woman--one of their important deities who lives atop the monolith of Spider Rock.

As legend has it, Navajo familes told their children that if they did not behave, Spider Woman would carry them to the top of the rock and devour them. The white cap atop the rock is supposedly where all the bones of the misbehaved children lay today.

Whoa.

That's creepy. I love stories like that.

Where's the white cap, I'm having a hard time finding it.

It's a belief, but a story all the same.

I'll post up a different picture so you can see it a little better, but it's at the very top beneath the bottom of the tree... it shouldn't be this hard to see.
