I always wondered about how that town got its name. Now, what about Tuba City?

I’ve hiked up as high on the rock as I could get, which was the top of that large base, right under the smaller base that the hat sits atop. I don’t think there is a route higher unless you use gear. This picture does not do the hat justice, that feature is huge. Fun fact, when Royal Robbins made the “first ascent” of this feature- in 1962, a name was found to be scratched into the top of the rock….

It's literally just the Spanish word for hat. Referring to the large brimmed Mexican style hats in English as a "Mexican hat" makes total sense really. Likely it was named before English speakers adopted the name sombrero to specifically refer to those hats.

It's an ancient alien radar dish. It's truly hard to fathom how the rocks had to fall away perfectly to maintain balance like this. Really amazing.
