THE WILLIE BOY STORY
This is a 5 mile out-and-back hike through high desert north of Ruby Mountain. You will look out over great vistas to the east in Homestead Valley and the Bullion Mountains and visit a legendary ambush site and grave.
You may have seen the movie ‘Tell Them Willie Boy Is Here!’ starring Robert Redford, Katharine Ross, Robert Blake, and Susan Clark. Jason Momoa’s new film, The Last Manhunt, is due for November, 2022, release.
There are several versions of Willie Boy’s story and you’ll hear about some of them when we reach the site.
