Hanksville

Hanksville is a remote town in Wayne County, Utah at the junction of Scenic Byway 24 and SR-95 in the high desert, home to the Mars Desert Research Station, a gateway to Goblin Valley State Park and Lake Powell at Bullfrog, and known for the Hollow Mountain gas station carved into the rock. Its life runs on remote-travel and tourism services, the gateway traffic to Goblin Valley and Lake Powell, some ranching and mining, and the few businesses serving travelers and the desert-research community. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the Hanksville area's travel, tourism, and local businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania. Distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
