I didn’t think about hanksville much. It was fine.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

I stayed there because I made some amazing hikes around there, but Hanksville isn‘t a a pretty village and there is not a lot to see. Great place to stay for a night and then keep traveling the next day.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Nice little town. Couldn’t really explore any of the business as most were still closed for the season.

4/5 - Good

It didn't knock my socks off but was just fine. Would do again without hesitation.

5/5 - Excellent

Cities near Hanksville

In the distance the Henry Mountains rise above the reddish colored sandstone of North Caineville Mesa located between Hanksville Utah and Capitol Reef National Park.

Caineville

American Southwest Desert Landscape. Classic eroded Navaho sandstone bluffs and blue skies bring up an image of the old west. This is especially true here in Torrey, Utah, near Capitol Reef Park.

Teasdale

Beautiful place for a picnic and a hike.
