Robbersâ Roost
canyons, Utah, United States
Quick Summary
Robbers' Roost was a region of rugged canyons in east-central Utah, known as an outlaw hideout, particularly in the western United States. This area, along with others like Hole in the Wall and Brown's Park, served as a refuge for cowboy-outlaws such as the Wild Bunch in the late 19th century. These hideouts provided places for rustled horses and cattle to be grazed and offered nearly impenetrable retreats for outlaws like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.12
