Navajo Dome is a 6,489-foot (1,978-meter) elevation summit located in Capitol Reef National Park, in Wayne County of Utah, United States.

This geological feature's descriptive name derives from its Navajo Sandstone composition and dome-like shape.

[4] In a hot, dry climate, wind blew over sand dunes, creating large, sweeping crossbeds which date to the Jurassic.

Long after the sedimentary rocks were deposited, the Colorado Plateau was uplifted relatively evenly, keeping the layers roughly horizontal, but Capitol Reef is an exception because of the Waterpocket Fold, a classic monocline, which formed between 50 and 70 million years ago during the Laramide Orogeny.

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