Yes! There are many mountains and mesas within the Navajo Nation. Some are: Navajo Mountain, The Chuska, The Lukachukai, parts of Black Mesa and many others. In some ares there are tall trees and a lot of snow in the winter. Other areas are lower and hotter and drier with very little vegetation. The four sacred mountains are even higher and are important to many of the Native groups in the area. For example, the San Francisco Peaks outside of Flagstaff are the western, abalone mountains to the Navajo and the are also important or sacred to the Hopi who say the Kachina live there and to the Havasupai and Yavapai and many others.

The four sacred mountains define the borders of Navajo territory and to leave them for any length of time is to endanger ones well being. There are also two sacred central mountains.

The four mountains in there Navajo order are:

Mt Blanca in Colorado --east mountain

MT Taylor in New Mexico --south mountain

San Francisco Peaks in Arizona--- west mountain

Mt Hesperus in Colorado --north mountain.

The center ones are Huerfano Mesa and Governador Knob .
