Hole-in-the-Wall

The site was used in the late 19th century by the Hole-in-the-Wall Gang, a group of cattle rustlers and other outlaws that included the Logan brothers, Black Jack Ketchum, and Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch.

Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, and other desperados met at a log cabin in the Hole-in-the-Wall country, which has been preserved at the Old Trail Town museum in Cody, Wyoming.

Robert Redford described the Hole-in-the-Wall as "an outlaw stronghold that deserves its name from a niche in the Great Red Wall of cliffs extending many miles to the south.
