Cue the Spaghetti Western Music . . .

September 29, 2012

We continued on to Mexican Hat, Utah.  (have the Fistful of Dollars music in your head for this one!!).  (We are writing this blog on 10/2/12 because we did not have Internet access until we reached Moab, Utah.)

We stopped at the big rock pile that was near our hotel and took some pictures.  The story is that a woman got stranded here back in the early 1900's and found these rocks near the road and stayed the night.  She liked it so much that she bought the land so that it could be shared with everyone.  There were several buildings built around the rocks.

We then drove to south of Page, Arizona for a tour of the Antelope Canyon.  It is the most-visited and most-photographed slot canyon in the American Southwest and is located on the Navajo Indian Reservation.  We took an open truck tour to the canyon and inhaled a lot of sand!!  It was worth it though.

We continued onwards to our final destination - Mexican Hat, Utah appropriately named based on a rock formation bearing some resemblance to a sombrero.

The Mexican Hat hotel was okay.  Our room was actually a big trailer with one bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living room.  It was clean and away from the main part of the hotel.

The next day is for Monument Valley and the Natural Bridges National Monument tour.
