Cassidy and Sundances Hole In The Wall Hideout

[@carydbman]

Those are the outlaw caves. I hiked down there a few years ago thinking it was the "Hole in the Wall" too. The Hole in the Wall is actually a few miles south. Named that because it was a narrow entrance to a secluded range that they could easily guard from intruders and raise horses and cattle. I talked with the elderly lady at the Kaycee museum. A small town that Butch used to go to. Her great grandfather used to trade horse with Butch. Great history in those part.s To be sure Butch and his gang hid out in robbers roost as well though.

wow thats amazing

[@juliusdro]

is there enough graze for several horses for a few months down there??? looked kinda sparce !!

[@scottb7444]

Been there there's water and a place to hide livestock and horses

[@christopherskipp1525]

Where is robbers' roost?

[@cindymalone4006]

What rugged remote place in the middle of no where.No wonder Cat Ballew and her gang wanted to go there

[@richardpaxman8519]

As others have pointed out, this is NOT 'Hole-in-the-wall', it is Outlaw Cave. Towards the end of the (excellent) video, at 3:05, there is a distant line of red cliffs, some 50 miles long, called the Red Wall, and HITW is a canyon in those cliffs.

[@MdVaDc]

Man i gotta get off this east coast and see the country.

[@WayneEvansGuitarCowboy]

This is not the Hole in the wall, but it is outstanding video. I have been thru the Hole in the wall in 1999 And again in 2021. the Hole in the wall is not a Hole it is a switch back trail That leads up thru a forty mile long rimrock. One man could off any posse that came after them for days till they ran out of food, there is water at the bottom of the trail. Keep up the good work.

[@charleskieser9740]

I guess I have confused the Hole in the Wall with the Outlaw Caves. Next time I am in the area (probably this fall) I will go try and make a video at the actual Hole in the wall. Thank you for the comment.

[@WayneEvansGuitarCowboy]

There was a local rancher by the name Hayes who traded horses with them sometimes. I knew his grandson Vince Hayes and I road with Vince to the Hole on horseback And traded horses with Vince many times. The Hayes were know for a stud horse by the name of Blue Valentine, look him up in the AQHA. Oh buy the way I am 80 years old.

[@pacwest1000]

Truly outstanding video my man! Excellent camera control. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid was my favorite film as a kid, circa 1969. Thank you.

[@simoncasson3327]

Super post of the Outlaw Cave country, beyond Hole-in-the-Wall. That historic place is on the Willow Creek Ranch. Old friends own it. Last there in 1999 when we rode up from Mexico... on horseback

[@charleskieser9740]

I am glad you enjoyed the video. I might head back out there this summer and shoot a new more detailed video about the Outlaw caves.

[@simoncasson3327]

@@charleskieser9740 that's hard country with a long hike in. Some of the cross trails the Wild Bunch used in WY were difficult... but I hope you do return and post.

[@NAHAJI133]

I live in Colorado and have hiked into the hole which was a long time ago. Thanks for posting.

[@charleskieser9740]

Your Welcome.

[@randalmorris1772]

Tried watching this video before on a half dozen occasions and it never has any sound or captions. Anyone know why?

[@charleskieser9740]

I guess I never added sound to the video. It is just a fly by of the outlaw gang's canyon hideout.

[@jeffreyelliott622]

There's got to be some gold in that great big valley full of quartz veins !!!

[@SlowRollMike]

I got a quarts vein for ya..

[@sarahstrong7174]

Amazing landscape.

[@robertprosser5023]

Strategically, that would be a death trap if you were found holed up down there with no way out, just like they died in the final scene. Plus, how did you get horses down there and where would you graze them, corral them? If a posses located them up on top you'd have even less chance of escape.

[@russse2793]

Very cool video. Thank you for sharing. God Bless from Phoenix.

[@charleskieser9740]

Thank You

[@ZeroPointZap]

Nice. What river tuns thru it?

[@charleskieser9740]

I looked it up, and it is the Middle Fork of the Powder River.

[@michaelashcraft8569]

The old West had such a vast land area that I had always thought not much of it was ever used, guess I have to reevaluate my way of thinking...

[@StevenTorrey]

It looks like the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Are they related geologic formations?

[@charleskieser9740]

The grand staircase in Arizona and Utah has some Laterailly equivelent formations in Wyoming, that have simular lithology, but different formation names. Often the desipotional environment for the laterailly equivelent formations is slightly different.

[@StevenTorrey]

@@charleskieser9740 Thanks. Looks to be lovely country.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

Why wouldn't send the drone down to get a close look at the outlaw caves?

[@charleskieser9740]

When I return I will try to get closer, this was done with an older drone with a little bit intermittent signal connection, the quadcopter I have today is far better.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

@@charleskieser9740 Then it's a good idea that you didn't send it down into the canyon, you could have lost it.

[@stephenolson7659]

Did Butch and Sundance have hang gliders? 🤯😮🙈

[@charleskieser9740]

It is a steep and twisty trail down there, definitely beyond what I would be willing to do on a horse.

[@russhall1097]

In the winter time I think they holed up in southern UT.

[@daveeden2220]

them old cowboy/outlaws know all the good hide outs

[@charleskieser9740]

You could see someone coming from a long way away from the top of the canyon.

[@snicklefritz6182]

So, where. exactly is the cave? All see is canyons.

[@dantyler6907]

About 2 mins in, on the bottom-left.

[@bradalsobrook901]

I read one article that said they had cabins and other structures at their hide-out in Hole In The wall.....Do any of those still remain? or the ruins?

[@charleskieser9740]

I dont think so.

[@moomoo3031]

no sound? really pretty tho!

[@MapleSyrupPoet]

Appears to be cool place 😎 to hide out

[@daveycrocket4873]

It looks like there's caves on the left hand side of that cliff wall as you're flying down through there. Have you ever sent the drone over there to look inside those?

[@youngimages2000]

Those ravines were carved out by water that evaporated over time, just saying...

[@melodymakermark]

Not true. I carved those out with a mule and a single blade plough. Took a minute.

[@tw.hendrickson]

Unfortunately for you, there is no such Canyon in the southern part of JOHNSON COUNTY. I went to High School in Johnson County. And there is no such Canyon as your flyover suggests. The " Hole in the Wall, isn't a hole or cave. It begins with a saddle between two hills out in the Barnum area of Johnson County.

[@charleskieser9740]

For sure this canyon is 15 miles east of Kaycee WY. I was parked at the Outlaw Caves campground when I made the flight.

[@charleskieser9740]

15 miles west

[@Historyfreak-f7o]

Not hole in the wall at all. Where ever it is , it sure is beautiful.

[@pengoat9]

I know where hole in the wall actually is through reading old books and getting repeat location to it.. It's in western colorado but i won't say where until i get in to search it.. I've been there several times and would have to say it does not seem defendable at all but reports say no posses or lawmen would go into it. I think the defensive aspect of it was the route in which would have been easily defended leaving the "hole" openly usable or safe from prying eyes, lawmen, strangers etc..Writings seem to point to all the most well know gunmen knowing of it and seeking shelter there. The road in has a name of a famous man . I'd tell you but then I'd have to kill you..

[@garywilliamson9697]

Where is this? Not hole in the wall. That's not buffalo canyon

[@charleskieser9740]

I flew from the Hole in the wall campground.

[@lancehurley9743]

Some ruff country.

[@charleskieser9740]

There are so many canyons in Wyoming, and they all are rugged, this is a cool place to live.

[@Kevinwayne199]

cool stuff.

[@charleskieser9740]

Thanks Man

[@lyndonreddick1888]

It really was/is a hole in the wall. And they took horses in there!? Awesome drone shots.

[@charleskieser9740]

Thanks, I guess they did take horses down there, rough riding.
