The Robbers Roost country
lies northeast of Hanksville about twenty miles. There is a long history
of this area. The Ekker family ran cattle in the area for decades.
The Robbers Roost Ranch is still owned by Ekker family members.
Know as the Robbers Roost Flats, cattle from the Ekker ranch grazed.
Using small aircraft is common in the area. These photos were taken from my cousin’s airplane.
