I'm the opposite, I'm always more at ease in the great plains (I'm from Eastern-Europe, for context), while when I'm at the mountainside I feel like there's something that's just about to "fall on my head" or similar, something that hangs over me.

The sun either rises way too late or sets too early if you’re right up against the Rockies.

It IS weird to now live where there aren’t noticeable mountains as landmarks.
