    Great piece, Josh. I’ve definitely been moved by the sky in Montana and Idaho–just miles of open, clear blue. And I have wonderful memories of lying under the stars with friends in a Georgia field during college– how simple and complete that pleasure was.

      After you cross the Cascades and head into Eastern Washington the sky just opens up and wow!

      In April I lay under amazing stars in the high country of Utah…the best night sky I have ever seen…

    Gorgeous video, Josh. I haven’t been to Montana, but always have imagined it (based partly, of course, on pictures/video I’ve seen) as just this peaceful, wide expanse of land that you can’t really find anywhere else in this country.

    I’m jealous you got to spend so much time there!

      Thank you Christine.
      Alas 7 days was far too brief for Montana. That became evident on our first night as the locals pointed out their favorite spots on the map.

      Dustin and I would like to go back for more Montana lovin in the summer, maybe do some climbing at Glacier.
