A few years ago, my family was put in charge of hosting a family reunion. We were given the task to host a "bunch of flatlanders" from Nebraska, Minnesota, and Missouri. We decided to give them the full Montana experience and put them up at a dude ranch in Central Montana. Our extended family was having a ball riding horses and mispronouncing the name of every town in the state. Also on the itinerary was a trip to the top of a mountain. We figured this would give these "flatlanders" a huge thrill. After a few hours' drive on forest service roads, we made it to the top of one of the larger peaks in the Little Belts. It was there that everyone finally learned why the name Big Sky was given to Montana.

Watch as they attempt to describe just how big Montana's sky can be.
