| Welcome to Thunder Mountain Tours! |
|
Hole-in-the-Wall Country |
Thunder
Mountain Tours focuses on the Bozeman Trail and surrounding
area. Visit our TOURS page for a detailed listing of the
numerous locations we specialize in.
To visit all
the historic sites and museums in our area, sometimes known
by the Crow name, Absaroka, or Binneesapeele, would take
several weeks. As an example our tours travel south to the
famous “Hole-in-the-wall” country and the infamous “Johnson
County Cattle War” or “The Invasion” as the locals like to
call it.

| Two of the most popular tours for those with time
constraints are; one, a half day loop leaving Sheridan to the Fetterman
massacre site, the Wagon box fight, Fort Phil Kearney, French Pete’s
trading Post site, portions of the Bozeman Trail route, a Crow/Sioux
fight site, the Lt. Shurley skirmish, and back to Sheridan for lunch.
The second can do a quick version of the aforementioned
loop, take a back road to the Battle of the Rosebud, and continue north
the Battle of the Little Big Horn, and if daylight and time allows, a
swing by the Connor Battlefield, and the Sawyer fight site. |
Fort Phil Kearny |
|
Red Grade Road |
Other sites abound both in Wyoming and just north of
the Montana state line, but more time and travel is involved.
I might mention here that, the side trips themselves
are an opportunity to photograph scenery and wildlife you will not find
along the Interstate.
I also take people to out of the way places like
spectacular Porcupine Falls in the Big Horns, Devils Kitchen and the
Dinosaur track site near Greybull, the Medicine Wheel, and a scenic loop
through the Big Horns up Hwy 14, along the top and back down on the
notorious Red Grade to Big Horn, Wyoming which is one of our state’s
still functioning authentic old west towns, false fronts and all! |

This month’s question in
history is:
What
happened at Wyoming’s bloodiest 4th of
July?
