Thunder Mountain Tours

Mike Kuzara, owner-operator of Thunder Mountain tours is a life-long resident of the Sheridan area. His grandfather arrived in the Dietz coal mining district north of Sheridan in the year of 1900 from Chicago after immigrating from Poland in 1892. Three generations grew up on the family farm there.

Mike grew up watching the signs of the recent past melt into the landscape, but became intensely interested in the conservation of that history when he joined the Powder River Corral of Westerners International. As secretary of this western history group for half a decade, Mike realized there was a need to provide access and information to visitors wishing to see and learn more about a period of time and place that has sparked more interest, legend, romance, books and movies than any other period of human history. Mike is President of the Big Horn City Historical Society and a Member of both the Sheridan County Historical Society and Montana Historical Society.

Thunder Mountain Tours was started in the Summer of 2005 to provide visitors to the area and locals alike a rare glimpse into this spectacular period in history.
