In southern Utah is a little town called Mexican Hat. We always thought the name just referred to the sombrero, but then we discovered that there's a geological feature that reminds you of the hat. So here's a picture of the actual Mexican Hat that inspired the town's name.
We had driven through southern Utah and seen the Bears Ears and Natural Bridges National Monument before heading south into Arizona by going over the wildly crazy road called the Moki Dugway. The town of Mexican Hat is not far south of this winding section of dirt road that can tap into your fear of heights while you're driving it. The Mexican Hat geologic feature can be seen from the main road and only requires a short drive on dirt road to get close enough to it to get pictures. The photo looks especially red because we were passing by this feature as the sun was setting.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story!
