7:30am Departure: The first group will leave with the other groups following at 10 minute intervals. The ride will be 23 miles long until the next campsite. First the trail climbs up and away from the Hole-in-the-Wall. There is a lot of wildlife to be seen as well as the “Red Wall”, a Chugwater formation, which runs 30 miles to the north and south. This trail was the only access through the “Red Wall” and that is why it became known as the “hole” by the Wild Bunch Gang and is still referred to today as Hole-in-the-Wall. The ride passes through three Wyoming counties; Johnson, Washakie, and Natrona. You will see the Bar C Corrals, a stopping point for sheepmen moving their herds to the high mountain country. At one time over one million sheep were moved over these trails. Monday night’s campsite is located at the “Graves”. The name originated when a fight there led to the murder of a sheepherder by a wagon tender. Upon arrival in camp, tend to your horse, set up tents, and prepare for supper.
