Chief Yellowhorse (Hole in the Wall) — photo spot in Gallup, NM 87301, USA
Chief Yellowhorse (Hole in the Wall)
A large carved sandstone boulder with a natural-looking ‘hole in the wall’ and a memorial plaque honoring Chief Yellowhorse—good for dramatic low-angle compositions, silhouette and portrait work against Gallup’s wide skies. Easy roadside access with a small pullout and informal parking; no entry fee but treat as cultural memorial. Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm side lighting and long shadows; midday can be harsh but useful for high-contrast black-and-white. Weekday mornings are quieter;
