Review:
Mexican Hat is an intriguing sombrero-shaped rock made up of a cap rock balanced on a mesa, located about 3 miles from a village of the same name west of Bluff in Utah.
Hiking and climbing Mexican Hat is a great adventure rather than a walk in the park and is popular with scramblers, climbers, and adventurous hikers.
From the parking lot, it is an easy hike up to the base of the hat – you can choose to approach from any direction.
Once you reach the rock, you will have to choose between the A1 Bandito Route, where you will use bolts to assist your climb to the top of the rock (this is the most popular route), or the more challenging natural A2R Royal Robbins Route.
Either way, climbing Mexican Hat should feature on every rock-climbers wish-list. Map
