Big Sky
Vast Western openness
Big Sky is a nickname for the U.S. state of Montana, derived from the vast, unobstructed views of sky visible across its open plains and mountain ranges.
The phrase appears on Montana license plates and in tourism marketing.
Big Sky is also a resort community in southwestern Montana known for skiing and outdoor recreation.
The term evokes spaciousness, freedom, and the American West's wide-open landscapes.
