Rock formations along U.S. 491

As we continued our trip towards Gallup, New Mexico, we encountered beautiful rock formations. We even saw an arch, to our surprise.  We had visited the Arches National Monument.  This arch was nothing in comparison, but it was pleasing to see it along our route.
 This rock formation appears to be Ship Rock Volcanic Neck (diatreme), Navajo Field, north western New Mexico  The sky was very hazy on this part of the trip, but the view is still spectacular.
The next picture may be that of Cathedral Cliff volcanic neck (a.k.a. Table Mesa Plug).  If one of my followers has a correction on any of these photos, I will appreciate your comments and suggestions.
