Why Wyoming is VASTLY Emptier Than Colorado

I think it's good that places like Wyoming still exist. Not every place on earth needs to be ridden with civilization.

Screen blinking at 8:10 is kind of intense

I've lived in Wyoming my whole life. We like it this way, empty. Like other comments have said, the vast emptiness and the ability to get lost is kind of amazing. Anyone can go be alone. It's one of the few places on the planet you can actually do that and it lends itself to being amazing.

As a Colorado transplant to Wyoming, I can say with absolute certainty no one in Wyoming thinks the differences between the two states are a bad thing.

It's nice to know that everyone in Wyoming already watched this in a day.

i like the idea that the person overlooking this video just blinked at the same time and never saw it mess up

The aerial town scene shown at 16:30-16:39 is actually...Pasadena, California. The main street through Pasadena is called "Colorado Boulevard" so maybe that's how you found the stock footage. 😄

Glad to see a video talking about my home of Colorado. But please do not say that Wyoming has mild weather. It is somehow much noticeably colder year round and the wind is absolutely insane on the plains of Wyoming. You also forgot to mention the housing crisis in Colorado. Many residents I know cannot even afford to own their own homes. A lot of us rent for ridiculous rates but can't move because we have nowhere else to go.

As a person who has lived in Wyoming their whole life, I can confirm that the weather hates us. One time, when I was fishing with my old man, it started snowing on us in the middle of June. We often joke that their are only 2 real seasons in Wyoming, Winter and Construction.

I used to live in Northern Colorado. Wyoming weather is a whole different animal. Not mild by any means

Wyomingite here. All Im gonna say is that Wyoming is an extremely spiritual place and very native friendly. I used to live on the reservation and my Elders taught me a lot, and how the spirituality is so great and vast there. The biggest thing im gonna tell people, whatever energy you bring n give to the land, is what your goin to receive there. Keep that in mind.

I moved to Wyoming when I was 12. I lived there for many years. I got married, then divorced and then moved to Wisconsin. Wyoming is a very large empty state, but it's beauty will call you back. Nothing like seeing a Semi being picked up by the wind and flipped around and landing back on all of it's wheels. The winds are very strong around Douglas and Glenrock. It's just crazy. My favorite story about the weather is when I went on a picnic one afternoon up on Casper Mountain wearing shorts and a tank top, and I am throwing snowballs at my husband!

As someone who has spent a lot of time in both states, wyoming is far colder and windier than colorado is. Wyoming also didn't have the massive gold rush that Colorado had, so there was no population boom like in colorado in the late 1800's and early 1900's. This allowed people to buy a lot of land for cattle ranching.

As a Northern Colorado resident I can confirm that as soon as you drive past the Wyoming border the wind wants to blow your car onto the other side of the highway. Temps are often 15-20 degrees colder in the winter as well. My experience is that two states have vastly different climates, with that of Colorado being much more hospitable.

As someone who has visited all U.S states, Wyoming is definitely the most underrated.

My memories of Wyoming stem from a mid May cross country road trip. Mid may, snow, and 6.5 hours of barely anything. It was eerie, yet it was beautiful to see.

Born in Colorado. Went up to wyoming in 2017 to see the eclipse, and I was definitely impressed by how empty the place was. Glad to see a video explaining why!

Most "major" towns in Wyoming (i say major meaning big by Wyoming standards) are roughly about 100 miles apart from each other because that is about how far a steam engine would go before it had to stop to refill on water. It is also why most towns are built on or near a water source.

I really appreciated that you talked about the definite advantages to an environment like Wyoming. As a native Los Angeleno, city life can most definitely get claustrophobic and ironic lonely at times. The great outdoors is such a cure to both problems.

Why is this video constantly blinking black? It's really distracting.
