Montana’s sweet spot – Big Sky is about clean air, recreation, embracing the West

This place is absurdly misnamed. That’s not a complaint, but it does require an asterisk.

If you want truly big sky, head east of here, to the flatter, slightly more mundane plains of this state (or, say, eastern Colorado, Wyoming or the Dakota of your choice). In those leveler places, the sky travels from the infinity at your left to the infinity at your right. Now, that’s some big sky.
