MISSION STATEMENT OUTLAW TRAIL RIDE, INC.

To the horseback rider looking for adventure and excitement the Outlaw Trail Ride, Inc. is a non profit organization created to promote recreation and tourism in the State of Wyoming. In 1990 the Outlaw Trail Ride was developed retracing the steps of the infamous Butch Cassidy, Sundance Kid, and the Hole-in-the-Wall Gang from Hole-in-the-Wall to Thermopolis, Wyoming. It offers the rider spectacular scenery, a fun filled week of entertainment, and a chance to relive the history of the Wild West cowboys like no where else on earth.

Summary of the Outlaw Trail Ride
