Chaistla Butte is a 6,098-foot (1,859 m) elevation summit located south of Monument Valley, in Navajo County of northeast Arizona.

It is situated 4.5 miles (7.2 km) northeast of the community of Kayenta, on Navajo Nation land, and can be seen from Highway 163.

[4] Chaistla Butte rises 400 feet (120 meters) above the Little Capitan Valley, and the 1,000 by 700-foot base pokes up from the Chinle Formation.

[2][6] Navajo teachings have its name meaning "to support the sky's underside", such that if this butte were to fall, the world would end.

This desert climate receives less than 10 inches (250 millimeters) of annual rainfall, and snowfall is generally light during the winter.
