Overview

Hype:

In 1921, Edwin T. Wolverton constructed a mill to crush gold ore in the Henry Mountains. He built a large table saw at one end of the mill, making the Wolverton Mill unique because it combined ore-crushing and woodcutting under one roof. Wolverton came to the area in search of a legendary Spanish gold mine. Today, the Spanish gold is still just a legend, but the mill has been restored and relocated to the BLM office in Hanksville, Utah. Drinking water and restrooms are available at this location.

We stopped at the Wolverton Mill on our way home from canyoneering in North Wash. We read the signs and looked around.
