This butte is north of Sleeping Dragon Butte. The Flying Eagle is west of Yei Bi Chei and the eastern end of Flying Eagle is near a collection of sand dunes and Sand Springs. A canyon cuts into the southwestern part of the butte.
It looks like a dragon when viewed from the north and a ghost when viewed in the sky from the west. It is south of Flying Eagle and there are a few traditional Navajo hogans just south of the Sleeping Dragon. Parts of the Sleeping Dragon resemble the toadstools, but the cliffs around it and a large gash in the butte's southern side give its identity and location away.
The name "Big Hogan" comes from the arch's appearance, which is similar to that of hogans. Hogans are a round type of building regularly seen in the Navajo Nation. "Big Hogan" used to be a gathering place for Indians, and was good for the traditional Navajo music because of the arch echoes.
This arch is next to Big Hogan. Moccasin Arch is in a smaller cave than Big Hogan; however, its arch is more pronounced.
A sand dune is right next to the arch.
