I've been across the Great Plains further north. Montana has the western 1/3 or so of spectacular Rocky Mountains Majesty, and then... Prairie. Sometimes there are ravines and buttes, but it suddenly goes flat as you drive east. Then, if you take the more southerly roads, you can see the Yellowstone region to the south and eventually you reach the Black Hills before emerging again on the rolling hills of South Dakota. Southern Minnesota and Iowa keep the flat plains terrain going. But if you hold to the north on Highway 2, it's pretty flat for hundreds of miles until you are 2/3 of the way across North Dakota when you reach lake country and forests rising in density toward northern Minnesota.

I think my mom and dad drove that a while ago when they headed out west. I need to try and get to that area. At least once in my life to say I did it. I really didn't mind Iowa at all. It was lush and green. That eastern half of Colorado wasn't entirely flat, but it was just all so brown.
