Mexican Hat, Utah

When you think of Utah, you might think of snow-capped mountains and icy roads. But a lot of Utah is actually covered in sparse desert and dry rock formations - and that's certainly the case in the town of Mexican Hat. This small town is tiny and is home to just 31 people, but you might be wondering why it's called Mexican Hat. Well, that's all down these very unique rock formations.

Sitting above the town is an odd rock formation that looks just like a Mexican hat, so locals decided to name their home after it! Many road trippers also travel far and wide to see it in the flesh.
