Butte, Montana's Underrated Spectacle Ranked in Top 5 U.S.

"Well, duh, Devon! We already know all that already." Exactly, that's my point! Sometimes these things just pass us by.

That's why I'm here to remind you just how proud you should be for where you live!

This time around, I have something—a little slice of Butte—that has made it onto the Top 5 list of biggest in its category in the entire U.S. of A. Any guesses what it is? Spoiler: it has nothing to do with the Berkeley Pit, though it always has a special place in our hearts (and is in the Top 5 biggest manmade holes in the world). No, this is something you've driven by a million and a half times, something always lurking, always watching over us.

Batman? Nope. Here are the Top 5 Biggest Statues in the U.S. and guess who's on there!

I must admit, I might have reached a little bit with number one, Birth of the New World—it being in Costa Rica. But that would mean Butte's very own treasure, Our Lady of the Rockies herself, would be at number 3 in the U.S.! Did I just blow your mind or what?

The 5 Biggest Manmade Holes in the World (Montana, look out!)

These 5 manmade holes have proven themselves to be testaments to the human will and skill of engineering, all in all making up over 10 miles of deep excavation. Lucky for us here in the United States, Montana features one of the entries on the list—and you may not expect it.
