Dził Nchaa Sí'an

Dził Nchaa Sí’an, the Big Seated Mountain, rises above the desert valleys of southeastern Arizona. The highest summit of the Pinaleño Mountains, it bears forests on its cool upper slopes and feeds streams descending towards the dry country below. For Western Apache people it is one of the four holy mountains, a place of deep spiritual importance. Its high forests and springs stand apart from the desert surrounding the range.
