Mexican Hat
A 60-ft sombrero balanced on a rock pedestal
A wildly improbable disk of rock balanced on a slender pedestal just off the highway in far southeast Utah, looking exactly like an upside-down sombrero. The tiny town it named sits at the gateway to the San Juan’s goosenecks and Monument Valley.
