Black Hills, Devils Tower, Little Bighorn Battlefield:

 The west is just so different, not as lush as New England.  In Montana “Big Sky Country”  it seems that the sky never ends, especially in eastern and central Montana, where the lack of trees on the prairie causes  this illusion.

Mount Rushmore and The Crazy Horse monument are spectacular as is devils tower where I only saw one alien 👽.

The Little Bighorn Battlefield gives you a very somber feeling, not only for the loss of the seventh cavalry but also for the way the Indians were treated by the United States Government. The Government broke most of the treaties they negotiated,  and tried to starve them by slaughtering millions of bison 🦬 that they relied on for subsistence. When they did settle on reservations crooked agents stole the food and supplies the government sent for their subsistence.
