Travel theme: Big

My recent visit to the extremely large and slightly menacing Fremont Troll got me thinking about other big sights I’ve encountered on my travels. Journeying along Washington State’s North Cascades Highway, Liberty Bell Mountain will stop you in your tracks with its scale and beauty.

I can still hear the whirring of the white windmills covering Tehachapi Pass; the biggest wind farm I’ve ever seen.

After driving through the desert and reaching Las Vegas just as night fell, it was pretty startling to see a fifty foot tall Gordon Ramsay glaring at us from the side of a mini Arc de Triomphe.

But the one sight that will remain emblazoned upon my mind’s eye forever is my very first sight of Montana‘s big skies.
