Description

Hanksville is a small town hub in Wayne County and the setting for this beautiful backdrop adventure area. The town was settled in 1882, and known for a time as Graves Valley. It took the name of Hanksville in 1885, after Henry Golden and a small group of pioneers settled in the area. The town of Hanksville was once a supply post for Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch, who would hide out at Robbers Roost in the desert southeast of town.
