In June 1889, Butch Cassidy before becoming associated with his gang, "the wild bunch", robbed the San Miguel Valley Bank in Telluride. This was his first major recorded crime. He exited the bank with $24,580, and later became famous as a bank robber.
Telluride is located at an elevation of 8,750 feet in an isolated spot in the Four Corners region where Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Arizona come together. Telluride has the highest altitude commercial airport in the United States.
