Mulley Point
About
Mulley Point is a summit of 6,316 feet in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Utah, about 7 miles from the town of Mexican Hat. For comfortable weather, aim for spring or fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show highs around 68°F in April and 69°F in October, while July highs average about 94°F and January highs sit near 43°F. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet lower than the summit, so temperatures up top run cooler. The Muley Point Trail starts less than a mile away. Johns Canyon Road and the Honaker Trail are both within about 4 miles, and Valley of the Gods, a climbing area, lies about 9 miles off.
