Landscape Mexican Hat

Mexican Hat · **1 Like**

20 miles north of Monument Valley, is the town of Mexican Hat, population 30, yes thirty, but it has a famous landmark called of course Mexican Hat. This is a very unique balanced rock formation that looks like someone wearing a sombrero. The unusual sandstone backdrop of mauve colors have been incorporated into the blankets made by the Navajo Indians.

Super shots! Love the colors and textures. I've never heard of this place!

Good tip for next time I'm in the area -- last time being 20 years ago

. You caught this in perfect light to bring out all those colors.

there is a lot to view even outside of Monument Valley Jerry, you'll enjoy your visit one of these days.

We have been quite busy since leaving the kids in Colorado Jer, spending their inheritance as fast as we can.
