As the name implies, this cave was once used by outlaws as a hideout. Located in a remote canyon, where the Middle Fork of Powder River cuts through some rugged country, Outlaw Cave was an ideal spot to hide stolen cattle, horses, and other booty. Since there was only one way to reach the cave, a handful of outlaws could defend it against a larger number of men trying to gain entrance. The area around the cave is one of the most scenic in central Wyoming, and the Middle Fork in this area is a "blue ribbon" trout stream containing abundant brown and rainbow trout. Nearby is Rock Art Cave, where you will find unusual petroglyphs created by prehistoric Indians. |
