The Hole in the Wall Ranch, A History

The Hole in the Wall country of Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains is well known to history buffs steeped in Butch Cassidy lore, but for millennia it's been a crossroads for all kinds of people. The name refers to a break or "hole" in a wall of red sandstone, 40 miles long. Where the Middle Fork of Powder River breaches the Red Wall lies the Hole in the Wall Ranch. This is the story of the land, the people, and the ranch itself-a history of Wyoming and the West, centered around one dramatic place.
