Shiprock is also known as Rock With Wings because there are numerous volcanic dykes radiated out from it. Looking from one end of its wings, their shapes seemed echoing with Shiprock.
Shiprock, with its wings (also known as Winged Rock), is the remnant of an explosive volcanic eruption that occurred around 30 million years ago, and a monadnock rising nearly 1,583 feet (482.5 m) above the high-desert plain of the Navajo Nation in San Juan County, New Mexico. Its peak elevation is 7,177 feet (2,187.5 m) above sea level.
Governed by the Navajo Nation of native American, the formation is in the Four Corners region and plays a significant role in the religion, myth, and traditions to the Navajo people. It is the most prominent landmark in northwestern New Mexico. In 1975, Shiprock was designated as a National Natural Landmark by the National Park Service.

Note: tried the app PlanIt, and managed it to show me the time and location when/where moon will rise. Somehow I doubted about it. I was wrong. The moon rose exactly from the location PlanIt showed. What an amazing app :-)
