Mexican Hat Travel Information
Mexican Hat is a tiny desert community of 50 or so people near the
southeastern corner of Utah. It sits along the San Juan River among
impressive rock formations. It serves mainly as a stopping off point
for those traveling to Monument Valley (22 miles southwest) and
Natural Bridges National Monument (44 miles north). Mexican Hat is
also a convenient base for those exploring the San Juan River. A few
other attractions -- Goosenecks State Park, Muley Point Overlook and
the Valley of the Gods -- are within 15 miles of town. Mexican Hat
is located on Hwy 163, 24 miles west of Bluff. It has a few small
motels, a private campground, a few restaurants, service stations and
some gift shops. Mexican Hat gets its name from a rock formation north
of town that resembles an overturned sombrero. View
