At Ruby’s Inn, you can retrace the hoof prints of Butch Cassidy!

Butch Cassidy was one of the most notorious outlaws of the American West. Born and raised in southern Utah, Cassidy and his gang often hid out in various locations in the region in between robberies. When you visit Ruby’s Inn, a full-service hotel located at the gateway to Utah’s Bryce Canyon National Park, you can participate in a guided horseback ride on the Cassidy Trail in nearby Red Canyon, a precursor to Bryce Canyon on Scenic Byway 12. According to a recent Los Angeles Times article , the Cassidy Trail is where a young Butch (born Robert Leroy Parker) escaped from a posse trying to catch him for rustling. When you take a guided horseback ride with a Ruby’s Inn wrangler, you will find out more about the area’s outlaw history, as well as its geology and wildlife. Ruby’s Inn offers one-and-a-half hour rides, half-day rides, and full day rides. Visit our horse rides page for more information.
