Mexican Hat

This is named for the 2,500 ton boulder that looks like a sombrero. The rock balances on top of a 200 foot cliff. Nearby is Goosenecks State Park.

When road US 163 crosses 20 miles of rather flat landscape past scattered Indian houses you'll find Mexican Hat. A small settlement named after a curious formation nearby with a large flat rock 60 feet in diameter perched precariously on a much smaller base at the top of a small hill. The 2,500 ton boulder balances on top of a 200 foot cliff. The village itself is unremarkable but the surrounding scenery is exceptional and not often visited, with cliffs, canyons and red rock buttes.
