Colorado is not all mountains, many areas especially on the eastern side, is plains. Cattle or horses roam the ranches
“we headed South across those Colorado plains
just as empty as the day
we looked around at all we saw
remembered all we’d hoped to see
looking out through the bugs on the windshield”
“No More Buffalo” by James McMurtry

I love wide open spaces like this! They make me feel like I can breathe again, like I haven’t been breathing fully here surrounded by all the hills and trees.
Yes wide open spaces are nice. A chance to see the stars, a little peace and quiet.
