vast plains
Wide open prairie
Vast plains are extensive, flat expanses of land stretching to the horizon with few trees or major elevation changes.
The phrase evokes open grasslands like the American Great Plains or African savannas—landscapes defined by their seemingly endless scale: Herds of bison once roamed the vast plains.
The combination emphasizes both size and openness.
