Queen Nefertiti Rock is a balanced rock and sandstone pillar in Arches National Park in eastern Utah, rising steeply above the Park Avenue Trail. Formed from Entrada Sandstone, the rock unit responsible for many of the park’s sculpted cliffs and freestanding towers, it stands 4,741 feet above sea level. Its name comes from a profile said to resemble the head of Queen Nefertiti, a name officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names. Set in a high desert drained by Courthouse Wash toward the Colorado River, it is part of the distinctive collection of named stone figures that define the park’s scenery.
