Before smugglers and bandits took refuge, evidence points that Native Americans used this spot. This area dates back much further than the smuggling days though.
Left behind in the cave was a substantial amount of loot hidden amongst the rocks. The cave held refuge for more outlaws in 1911, when Turso de la Toba and his gang were running from both American and Mexican federals. Eventually border patrol was alerted to the smuggling in this area and has since kept a close eye on the area. They would camp here and were shielded from the harsh winds and weather conditions. In the early 1900's, Chinese immigrants were smuggled across the Mexican border and found refuge inside of the cave. News spread quickly with a sketch in a local newspaper of the outlaw laying dead outside the cave. The bandit was apparently shot in the shoulder and took refuge in this cave while hiding out and healing. Now I know where the bandit hid out after the raid! That was as much information that I had until researching this cave. The raid left the store owners so shaken up that they decided to re-build their store into a stone "fortress" of sorts to ensure protection from any future issues. The cave tour costs approximately 5 and it is open from 9-5.
