From here, by crossing the river (no bridge), you reach the historic ghost town of Giles.
Four miles west of Hanksville lies this truly remote spot. At one time, about 200 people lived here. In 1883, another location along the Fremont River was chosen and a group of intrepid pioneers settled there. Irrigation canals were dug, crops were planted, and by 1900 the population had reached 200. The town, known as Blue Valley until 1895, changed its name in honor of the local LDS bishop, Henry Giles. Flooding, which was common in the area, was a constant problem and by 1919 the last villager had had enough.
