I don’t have issue with high plains and such, but driving mountains out west is way different than in our part of the country. It’s not fear but vertigo for me. Driving up and down those switchbacks with nothing but air and land out in the distance makes me feel like I’m in the air and brings on vertigo, compounded by inner ear issues. Very high bridges are the same.
I finally found the cure though. Couple shots of liquor and my body no longer gives a shite. Illegal, maybe, but it really helps.

I made the drive from Billings to Kalispell, MT. via Glacier national park a couple of weeks ago. The high plains are peaceful to see. Fields in every direction as far as the eye could see. No trees. To me it was very peaceful.
The drive through Glacier on the Road to the sun was awesome. There were some spots I thought for sure my side mirrors were going to hit the mountain. Incredible scenery. I get that the switchbacks may be to much for some drivers.

Years ago I drove down San Jacinto into Palm Desert/Palm Springs and it was very harrowing. Just drop offs to the side of you with not much of anything for a guardrail. I think its called the Palms to Pines highway or something. Looked like something you would see in a car chase in a 70s movie or TV show. Like Duel.
I saw a video a few weeks ago of the guys racing up Pikes Peak and it was from inside the car. It about made me sick watching.

I lived in New Mexico and the high desert of Washington State for 6 years and it was certainly different....in a "Damn, that's beautiful" sense though, not in a "damn that is eerie" sense. It was CERTAINLY different when hunting....being able to see for miles is distracting as hell...I loved New Mexico though, hope to spend at least falls in New Mexico in a few years. They can have Washington State for all I care....
I will add that people from those areas usually mention trees when you tell them youre from the south. They are AMAZED that there are sooooo many trees.
Finally westerns are full of shite. Hanging folks from a tree in most of the west would require a couple of days ride. I bet they just shot most people because hanging someone from most of the trees would result in their feet firmly on the ground and the rope not even close to being tight....

Did you really list pine trees as a plenty to look at.
Have you ever driven the florida panhandle? Pine trees for hours. And it will make you hallucinate.

I drove Northern Iowa into Wisconsin today. Very hilly.and corn everywhere, couldn't see past the side of the roadway. Felt like I was gonna get swallowed up by corn.

How fricking long are you expecting to be out of pocket?
What the hell are you killing off I-10 in mobile with what you have? You people amaze me with the over estimation of yourselves.
It's called a "buck knife," so I reckon I can kill a buck with it.

I get it. Those are serious mountains.
I drove the Beartooth Pass one time. The wife and kid were going, "Wow, look at that." Right...no, I had a firm grip on the steering wheel and my eyes were on the road.
A buddy drove up Pike's Peak, but coming back down started to freak him out and he pulled over and made his wife drive. Heights never bothered me when I was younger, but in my 40s, that changed.

Reading this thread, I don't think many of you would survive driving through a snowstorm in the Dakotas. Wind howling, all you see is white, middle of nowhere.

I love driving out there.
My favorite thing is to see a storm over a distant mountain range and watch it lightning and dumping rain maybe 30 miles away.
If you're driving through the flat lands of western kansas at night and there's a storm in the distance, it can look pretty ominous.

There is no place for the word “literally” in that sentence. It adds nothing except another word.
