Legends and Landscapes

Our full-day tour departs the Coronach Tourist Information Booth daily at 9:30 a.m. Monday- Saturday, winding through the Big Muddy Badlands en route to Castle Butte and on to Big Beaver. From there, we visit our heritage schoolhouse, where you can enjoy lunch (available for pre-purchase or bring your own), before heading to the Outlaw Caves. Discover why the Big Muddy Valley was known as Station #1 on Butch Cassidy’s Outlaw Trail, with hideouts once used by outlaws such as Butch Cassidy, Sam Kelly, and Dutch Henry. The day winds down with visits to breathtaking sacred Indigenous sites, offering both stunning views and meaningful cultural insight.
