Cheyenne is the largest city in Wyoming with a population of 65k. Also Salt Lake City is in Utah 😬👌

[@Aerobolt91]

Former Wyoming resident and current Colorado resident. I honestly am not sure what to say that RLL already hasn't. The reasons I left Wyoming are about as spot on as he said. For what I needed in life, Wyoming simply cannot provide. Sometimes I do miss it and seeing Casper again is hella nostalgic to me. And while I wasn't really unhappy in Wyoming until I grew into my late teens (because you know, people my age don't like TOO much quiet life), I am a lot happier in Colorado. I hope to at least visit Wyoming more often though. Both these states are indeed beautiful in ways the other states can't be, and I appreciate that. I've always been and probably always will be a man living alongside the mountains! ... Also Salt Lake City in Colorado what the f--? XD

[@michaelschemlab]

Salt Lake City is in Utah

[@IK-pz7th]

Waiting for his disappointment when/if he finds out salt lake city isnt in CO 😂

[@cherylflam3250]

Salt Lake City ? Don’t think so 😂

[@gremezahk1]

Salt Lake City is located in Utah.

[@amys4392]

Just got back from Wyoming. Unbelievably beautiful State. The Grand Tetons were breath-taking. Plus, it was wonderfully devoid of people. I only had one picture of the mountains that had human beings in it. It was wonderful to get outside and not hear vehicles and sirens and construction- just the general cacophony that comes with too many people in one place. I heard nature...the wind in the trees, the birds singing streams rolling and this absolute beautiful quiet. I cannot explain it but it was wonderful. I don't think desolate is a word I would use for the Wyoming, because desolate implies depressing and there was nothing depressing about it to me. Unpopulated is more of a word I would use. I hope it doesn't change.

[@codyfromhumanresources6435]

I’m from Colorado. We will often make fun of Wyoming for being boring or a barren wasteland. However, seeing how much growth has happened in my area even since I was born 22 years ago, and how much the cost of living has shot up in Colorado, moving up to Wyoming doesn’t seem like such a bad idea anymore😂

[@jwmusic6793]

Im from colorado and every year we drive up to wyoming to get fireworks that are, well, illegal here.

[@cherylflam3250]

Casper airport is 6 1/2 hr drive to Salt Lake City. 4 hr to Denver. The British think 1 hr is a long drive !

[@TheNighthhawk]

Now you seen the Denver Airport. The white roof is truly a tent. In the 12 years I worked, for United Air lines, at DIA, we had one snowstorm, heavy snow, with high winds, that tore a hole in one of the tents. It is one large tent, but we count each of the peaks as a tent. That was the only time I ever seen it leak. It's almost 30 yrs old now. I also worked at the old Denver airport for 10 yrs. When it closed, they shut down all flights into Denver for 24 hrs. The airlines moved all the ground equipment from one to the new in that 24hrs. 21 miles away, in a snowstorm. Note, ground equipment speed is about 10 miles a hr. The rush in CO is mostly the rich from CA and TX, has been for yrs. Running prices of housing out of reach of people that have grown up in the state.

[@NannerBrams]

I've been to Wyoming a handful of times and it is a beautiful but barren and desolate place. Every time I've been it's been over 20 mph winds and it's almost like a high desert. I went in the summer and it was 100 degrees and I went in the winter and it was -30. Realistically, most Americans like comfort and want to live in a city which Wyoming doesn't have. You have to want the rugged independent and outdoor lifestyle to have a reason to move to Wyoming. Even I, who lives homesteading with family solitary in the middle of nowhere, won't move to Wyoming because the weather and landscape is so unforgiving and harsh. Not to mention Wyoming has some of the lowest taxes in the country and still no one wants to go there

[@Ojisan642]

Salt Lake City is in Utah 😂

[@ChaoticCobras]

11:30 i watched this video the other day on my own and yea the video was flashing like crazy like yours. its definitely not your problem, something happened to his video when exporting/uploading probably so ur good dont worry

[@christinetracy4]

I lived in Colorado most of my life. I moved to Wyoming 8 years ago because of the growth Colorado experienced. I love feeling like it's just me and the wildlife whenever I'm hiking or just driving around. The major con is the lack of flights out to connecting flights. If there is a mechanical issue and flight is cancelled, you're missing your next flight out of Denver usually. Even with that, I much prefer the wide open spaces and no air pollution brown cloud hanging over our towns. I loved Colorado, but it just became too crowded on the front range.

[@missshaq6086]

Salt lake is definitely in Utah

[@MikeOfKorea]

Years ago when I was an interstate truck driver, I almost slid on a patch of ice in I-80 in late June. The drive across Wyoming is beautiful, but it's seemingly endless. Not as bad as west Texas, though, where after two days of endless driving, you start hallucinating.

[@VWHybrid]

I grew up in Wyoming! Most beautiful barren wasteland in the world, IMO. You can see horizon to horizon without a single living creature or person in sight in some places. I will forever be desperately homesick for it; it’s like a piece of my soul was left behind to wander the prairie and desert. If I could come back as a ghost I would hope I could haunt there forever.

[@route2070]

There's more fed land in the west since the feds weren't as interested in having land until later years (after the Civil War) by then a lot of land in the east was privately claimed with a lot of the western area unclaimed, and still forming states. So simply when the government decided it wanted land, that was what was available with needing to claim eminent domain, so it was free (minus sending the military after the natives).

[@barkerjames1980]

I live in northwest Wyoming, was born and raised in this magnificent state. I have never lived anywhere else, nor do I want to!

[@helenclarke4735]

i was born and grew up and lived in Wyoming for most of my life and moved to Colorado. I appreciated that there were few people there. The town I grew up in had 900 people then and has 1200 hundred now. I

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

Most of the land owned by the Federal government is out west, because they sold off the land east of the Mississippi relatively early in the nation's history. Starting immediately after the Revolution, the Federal government used land to pay its war debts. This was repeated after the war of 1812, and the government continued selling land until the sixteenth amendment was passed in the early twentieth century, which granted the Federal government the power to levy income tax. Consequently, the areas that were not yet settled by then, contain much more Federal government land, than the areas that were settled earlier. The state with the highest percentage of Federal land is Nevada; but there's also more Federal land in Alaska, than the total area of any other state. When the heck did Ball become an aerospace company? As far as I know, they make (glass mason-style) canning jars and related food-preservation equipment, and publish books related to food preservation (most notably, the Ball Blue Book). What on earth can they possibly have to do with aerospace anything? I am confuse. If Denver is a major air travel hub, I'm not aware of it. The major hubs in the West, as far as I know, are Dallas/Fort-Worth, LAX, and Vancouver. Anchorage is also important, albeit mostly for cargo. The other major hubs are pretty much all on the east coast (JFK, Dulles, Miami, ...), with the notable exception of O'Hare. (Well, Atlanta isn't _on_ the coast as such, but it's in the capital and largest city of a coastal state and is on the eastern coastal plain.) I've never heard of anyone having a layover in Denver. I suppose people who live in places like Wyoming and Montana (which don't have any significant airports at all) might have layovers in Denver, but if it's a hub for travel outside the Mountain timezone, it's news to me. Note however that not all busy airports are hubs. Some of them are just popular destinations. Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, and Cancun for example are busy airports because of tourism.

[@Clapsy199]

As someone who was raised in Wyoming, and still live here, I love the current population. Traffic is always low, and not too many people to bug ya

[@rutontuton]

As a native of Colorado, the population growth in the last 15 years has been huge, especially people from California. As a result housing priices are crazy high, traffic is just plain crazy, and people have gotten less friendly. I live up in the mountains and hour from Denver and we've been impacted. I'm hoping it's going to slow down soon.

[@Labyrinth6000]

It’s always those Californians…

[@helenclarke4735]

I was born and grew up in Wyoming. Always loved it. Then moved to Colorado because of my divorce. Now live in Arizona but my living room is a shrine to Wyoming. Always loved that it wasn't crowded. People don't know what they are missing. The world moves slower there!

[@bunnylover68]

I live in Cheyenne, Wyoming. We are glad that our state isn’t heavily populated. There are more pronghorn antelope in Wyoming than people.

[@trey1sandoval]

The part where they show Salt Lake City Isn’t in Colorado and you were distracted with the screen😭 triggered

[@MidnightsDeluxe]

live in Colorado & it has a nice balance of big city life & quiet escape to the mountains if you head west

[@getbbudded23]

Salt Lake is in Utah buddy not in Colorado

[@route2070]

I have Flown between Denver and London Heathrow. The funny part is the return trip was a 2 hour difference between departure time and the arrival time locally when I flew back to Denver. Also the drives between the Wyoming and Denver airports are between 1.5-4hours.

[@ultraf0rward]

Salt Lake City is in Utah bud!

[@George-ux6zz]

Wyoming has had snow and freezing weather in every month of the year. It doesn't last long but it does happen.

[@MrRSCHECK]

Hello from Denver.... My home town :)

[@hardtackbeans9790]

Wyoming generally is colder. And much more windy. There was no core catalyst for growth. Colorado had a gold and/or mineral rush. Actually Wyoming did have a beaver pelt rush first, but that was in the 18th century long before settlers moved in. Wyoming is a great place to raise sheep & alpacas. But there is no real core industry in Wyoming. Many drives in Colorado are one long series of post card vistas. Wyoming has some stunning beauty but it is spread out by very boring landscape. I prefer Wyoming in some ways.

[@josephharrison5639]

I used to live in Colorado Springs and currently a student in Boulder Colorado. I drive through Wyoming a lot and it’s insane how empty it is there. I Can drive for an hour and see only one other driver on the interstate. He shows a lot of footage of my college and Colorado Springs and it just feels weird to recognize all that lol

[@grevensher594]

The federal government owns more land out west because it was conquered by the federal government. The land to the east of the Mississippi was privately owned when the United States came to existence. Land in the east has to be purchased by the federal government. Land in the west it is purchased from the federal government.

[@bethanylouise4603]

I’ve lived in Colorado for pretty much my whole life and it’s a wonderful state. It can definitely seem overpopulated but it’s beautiful and I don’t see myself moving anywhere else. Being born in California and brought here as a baby I couldn’t be happier.

[@George-ux6zz]

More people in Florida are from other states as well. The most common question in Florida is, where are you from.

[@paulryan7745]

Born and lived all of my 39 years within an hour of Casper Wy. We are definitely not trying to attract more people to move here, we have plenty. The landscape, laws, politics and people are things I hope never change. We tent to shun and ridicule Coloradans when they pass through here...

[@lynntaylor9681]

Wow I was born in Indianapolis and my aunt & cousin live there. Strange to think it has a higher population than Wyoming.

[@route2070]

In college, for a class, we went to the only women's prison in the state of Wyoming. They are short staffed there, in part since the town I was going to school had the closest grocery store. It was 80 miles away.

[@kenziedayne4234]

A large portion of the northwestern part of Wyoming is a Super Volcano (Yellowstone National Park). There are also 150 Nuclear (ICBM) missile silos as well. I wonder if that prevents people from wanting to live there.

[@SilvanaDil]

Um, Salt Lake City is in Utah 🙂

[@danielleporter1829]

Boulder, Aspen, and Telluride are cities in Colorado, Salt Lake City is the largest city and capital of Utah

[@newgrl]

Salt Lake City, the home of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (the Mormons), is in Utah (West of Colorado and South of Wyoming), Thurston. :):) Time to play more geography games! :)

[@JackiChano]

All of a sudden half the comments are “I live in Wyoming” lol

[@gallendugall8913]

Garfield proved Wyoming doesn't really exist.

[@richarddraggan8290]

I just watched this like two or three days ago LMAO

[@tysonreuter5788]

Colorado has some of the most neglected infrastructure in America, it’s traffic is worse than LA.

[@nh3028]

?? live in Denver rn. lived in LA for 4 years. Not close.

[@tysonreuter5788]

@@nh3028 it's easy to say that but the roads are so much developed to handle large traffic in LA and drivers work more in unison there.

[@lmtellsho6283]

All of our 50 states are colder in winter (except Hawaii) than in summer. Summers are hotter by reverse. Coastal states have variations depending on the temperatures and direction of currents offshore. In the east, the Gulf stream flows north and is warm. Seattle to San Diego on the west coast has flow from Alaska south which produces rain forest climes on the coast from Seattle to San Francisco. March in Los Angelos can be a cold 40 degrees and damp. Summer in San Fran area doesnt arrive until late fall when the ground has heated for months. The northern border states are usually hot in the summer and only locally moderated by altitude. Summers in the southern border states is VERY hot with Las Vegas hitting 120 F most summers...Arizona also. The Great Lakes moderate weather from the northwest but since weather has a west to east general flow, it is more influential in the winter, producing "lake effect" snow bands. Montana is north of Wyoming and is hot in the summer...check out Google for averages for each state.

[@JackiChano]

Lol Hawaii is colder in the winter obviously, sometimes it even snows there, but it’s still pretty warm even in winter. Also as someone who grew up and still lives in Vegas, it’s never been as hot as 120 here, it’s been 115 a few times. I think the hottest I’ve heard of here was 117 or 118, and that’s very rare.

[@Me-wk3ix]

Also, there are only 2 escalators in the whole state of Wyoming!

[@mindofzay2024]

I'm sorry my guy but Salt Lake City is in Utah not Colorado but you're not from the US so I understand lol

[@richarddraggan8290]

What happened was. Our good folks in Denver told the railroad we got less snow. TLDR, Check it out Cheyenne WY would be the largest city int the Rockies if Denver didn't blatantly LIE. A simple look at a topographic map will prove it. They didn't have satellite maps at the time. Also written records and the fact that Denver is larger then Cheyenne WY

[@allzuckedup]

You do know the first transcontinental railroad went through Cheyenne, right? The second one went through Denver.

[@keegansmetanko3755]

Salt Lake City is in Utah… close enough

[@BlizzardSeeker]

18:20 looks like the Grand Teton mountain range in Idaho.

[@O-sa-car]

the Tetons are in WY actually but are close to ID

[@BlizzardSeeker]

Thanks mate.

[@kylesage-clontz]

Salt Lake City is one state over, in Utah. ;-)

[@williambranch4283]

Wyoming is very windy and blizzardly and there are no jobs. People move stochastically, but not all diffusion is equal.

[@TheOnlyOneStanding8079]

Salt lake city is in Utah you bloke

[@EricWoodyVariety59]

Salt lake city is in Nevada not wyoming

[@davidfetherston2083]

My hometown of Grand Junction Colorado, has a population of 65k in city limits and a total population of around 150k which is bigger than Wyoming's largest town of Cheyenne. And Grand Junction isn't even in the top 5 towns in Colorado. Oh and just to let you know, Salt Lake City is in Utah, not Colorado.

[@epicjason21]

Colorado is on the side of a mountain
