The full story
Big sky, breathing room, and the kind of miles that make everything else quiet down.
Montana felt like a reset. The scale of it changes your pace whether you mean for it to or not.
The best part was letting the road breathe instead of trying to rush to the next stop. It turned into one of those places where the distance itself becomes the memory.
