You guys need to experience the great planes sunrises or sunsets. Or a sunrise or sunset over the Great Lakes, nothing like it. I love the mountains for other reasons. Have seen the sunrises and sets both places. I thought it was common knowledge that they are prettier on the planes?
Sunrise heading east out of the Black Hills of SD. Sunset on South Bass Island (Put In Bay) overlooking Lake Erie. You can even see the silhouette of the cooling towers of Davis-Besse.
