Swingin Steaks, Mexican Hat Lodge, Mexican Hat, San Juan County, Utah, United States, North America
Mexican Hat Lodge was an Old Indian Bar and Dance Hall. In operation between 1950 to 1990. In the early 90's Bobby and Vonnie Mueller and Kids remodeled the up stairs into 10 Beautiful rooms each one different. The Mueller's (Bobby, Jay Dee and Joy ) came to Mexican Hat in July of 1979 as a traveling Band working the southwest nite clubs and liked the area so much that with hard work and sweat, they managed to buy the old TOP O HAT bar (Water Hole #1) and convert it to a Bed and Breakfast looking place. However, we don't do breakfast as there are two other places which provide breakfast. Our specialty is Rib eye Steak Dinner. 18oz. cooked on an open fire (cedar wood) and served in an Old Cowboy style. The Mueller's still play music on special occasions ( Any Time Some One Wants Us To) if we are not busy cooking or waiting tables. We have been working on a gooood CD for years; maybe we will get it this time. If your a Amateur Radio Operator Please consider DX operation from our location. The owner is Bob.

Ultimate USA West Coast Road Trip
In May 2014 we spent beautiful 17 days driving and exploring the Western part of United States. It was a road trip to remember and can't wait to do it again. During the road trip we visited four states - California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah - and drove 2866 miles (4612km).
Landed in Los Angeles, rented a Ford Mustang and first checked out Hollywood Boulevard, Chinese theatre, Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, Griffith observatory, Getty Center and Downtown LA with City Hall, Union station and Walt Disney Concert hall.
After visiting Santa Monica, Venice beach Boardwalk and Malibu beach we took one of the most beautiful coastal roads in the world – Pacific Highway 1 from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Plan enough time for this drive as you will want to stop every few miles to take photos as the views are insane (McWay Falls, Pfeiffer Beach, Big Sur, Point Lobos, etc.). Monterey’s aquarium is on the way and is a must visit, while Capitola and Santa Cruz are one of the best surfing places on earth.
After a quick stop in Silicon Valley (Apple, Google, Yahoo, etc.) it was time for the coolest cities in the world - San Francisco. We drove down the Lombard street, took the cable car, had fun at Pier 39, visited Alcatraz and enjoyed the city and other landmarks like Golden Gate, Twin Peaks, Mission District, Haight-Ashbury, Alamo Square, Hawk Hill and many others places.
Next on the list was Yosemite national park, which is another big must on the list. Why? Because it is one of the most beautiful places in the world! Driving to the Glacier point where you can admire El Capitan, Yosemite falls, Half dome, Nevada falls, hiking and exploring the park’s landmarks like Mirror lake, Bridalveil falls and staying at Curry village was truly an unforgettable experience.
After Yosemite, we headed over the Tioga pass to Mammoth and straight to the Dead Valley with all its greatness. The Badwater basin, Darwin falls, Mosaic canyon, Devil’s golf course, Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, Artists Palette, Zabriskie Point, Dante’s view and endless roads which took us pass Las Vegas to the Hover Dam.
Coming on a Route 66 and stopping at Rusty Bold in Seligman the route took us to Bearizona Wildlife Park in Williams and then further on to the Grand Canyon where we stopped at Mather point, Desert view and Lipan point.
Driving further north is Page where we saw Horseshoe Bend, Lake Powell and spend some time with the Indians in the amazing Antelope canyon.
True Wild West experience is driving through the Monument valley with is endless roads and cluster of vast sandstone buttes. On the way there are interesting stops like Mexican Hat, Gooseneck state park, Muley Point and Moki Dugway.
Next was Moab and the Arches national park with attractions like Balanced rock, Delicate arch and Windows. But for sure, one of the most unforgettable experience was a 4-hour guided trip with the RZR cars in Moab desert. That was really awesome!!!
After driving through Torrey we found another beautiful road - Scenic Byway 12 - which brought us to Bryce Canyon with its Inspiration point, Peek-A-Boo Loop & Navajo/Queens Garden Loop and other breath-taking sights. Next national park was Zion with Kolob Canyons viewpoint and Lake Mead Scenic drive. Both national parks are amazing and huge, so you can easily spend a week or two.
Las Vegas with its 24/7 entertainment was the final stop before we returned our Mustang, departed back home and started planning our next trip…
A few sights around Southeast Utah
After the Sipapu Natural Bridge hike, we took a drive south on Utah 261 towards Mexican Hat. A sign not to far from our campground warned 10 % grades -- switchbacks -- narrow gravel road 23 miles ahead. I learned later that part of the route is called the Moki Dugway.
It was actually the shortest route to our next destination when we resumed our drive the next day, so, besides an afternoon excursion, we were also checking the route out to see if we should go the longer route. The Moki Dugway is a series of steep switchbacks down a gravel road from the top of Cedar Mesa over less than 3 miles. It was built in the late '50s to for transporting uranium ore from a mine to a processing mill in Mexican Hat.
The State of Utah recommends that only vehicles less than 28 feet in length and 10,00 pounds in weight attempt to negotiate this steep (10% grade), narrow, and winding road.
That eliminates us, then, since towing our small car sends us way over that length. We went the long way round the next day.
We also visited Goosenecks State Park and drove through Mexican Hat that afternoon.
