Under Montana’s Biggest Sky

Montana’s prairie lands surging east of the Northern Rockies are the most unique and beautiful in the nation. This is Missouri River Country

Nowhere on the North American continent can one find such a magnificent gathering of simple grandeur— river breaks, island ranges, buttes, badlands, grasslands, wildlife refuges, and lakes—as to be found in Montana’s portion of the Great Plains.

It’s a distinct region unto itself and one of America’s great pieces of geography. Space, much of it undisturbed, is its most celebrated commodity. This vast territory of unending sky delivers a feeling of no borders or confinement—a place where a human can stretch and breathe.

At first, the openness, immensity, and distances may seem overpowering. Gradually, though, you begin to notice the beauty and splendor... cottonwoods along a small creek, a lone tree silhouetted on a hillside, waves of wheat dancing in the summer wind, the first rays of sun illuminating sandstone cliffs, delicate snow patterns drifted against a weathered barn, the northern lights shimmering across the night horizon, antelope moving quietly through a sagebrush-covered prairie, and the soft fusion of earth and sky on vistas that seem endless.

Couple this splendor with great sweeps of country unaltered through time and chronicles extending back less than two centuries, and watch one of the most fascinating places in America unfold.
