Has anyone out there in cyberspace been to the western states of the U.S.A.–Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, etc.?
Just wondering what it’s like, what there is to do and see.
Well so far it looks like only 9 people have computers out here in the western U.S. or is it that we are just too busy looking at the beautiful senery? Yellowstone is the place to go which is actually in both Wyoming and Idaho. The Colorado River is the place to be if you like some excitement. Or you’ve got Glacier National Park in Montana. Or in Wyoming there is Jackson Hole. If you go there don’t miss out on the Bar J Wranglers. You won’t be sorry. I’m actually from Utah and have never been East of Colorado or West of Hawaii. But I do have my B.S. in Geography. I have seen more in all the Western States I’ve been to which include, CA, WA, OR, ID, WY, UT, AZ, CO, NM, HI. Than you probably will in your lifetime. I remember talking to a man in Mississippi on the phone who had never seen a mountain in his life. I felt awful for him. To sum it up there’s plenty to do and see out in the western usa
I have lived in Wyoming and my husband is from Montana but I don’t think I have been to Idaho. Wyoming is flat and windy and kind of boring in most places. Montana has great hunting and outdoor activities and beautiful open land but also national forests and mountains.

i went to all of those states a few years back…the best thing to do in that area is visit yellowstone national park. i would also recommend taking a helicopter ride over the badlands

Unless you want to be a white supremacist, there is truly nothing in those states.

Wyoming is only flat until you hit the MOUNTAINS!!! Duh!
Wyoming is beautiful if you are into the outdoors. There is a lot to do. Montana is the same. Some of the best camping and fishing I’ve ever done was in Montana. There are also a lot of museums in both states. I used to live in Montana and Wyoming and I still have family in Wyoming. I’ve never been to Idaho.
WTF? A white supremist? What a fucking joke. Generalize much? I’m from Nebraska. I grew up in that area and while there are racists it isn’t like everyone is that way. If you want to deal wtih white supremists then I suggest you travel a bit further south where black kids are still asked to sit at the back of the bus.

I actually live in Montana (amazing, we have electricity out here!) and much of what is out here involves the outdoors. We are very fortunate to have national parks and other beautiful outdoor areas that people can take advantage of in the form of climbing, hiking, rafting, biking, and running. Other than some predominant agriculture communities, these states are much like any other area of the country. We had all brands of fast food, get first release films, have car dealerships with brand new models, and the like. The only real difference is the space. People are more likely to have large backyards or acres of property, although I’ve lived in suburban type apartments throughout my time in college. All in all, there is more distance between towns, with scattered small towns, but we have malls, cell phone coverage, and collegiate sports out here too.

Yes, I have. I used to drive big-rigs. Montana and Idaho are spectacular. Mountains, river canyons, beautiful roads and scenery. Wonderful.
Edit: Plus, the whole time I was in those states, I never met one white supremacist… imagine that!
California’s nice, too…. has everything. Highest mountains, biggest trees in the world, lowest valley, rivers and lakes galore, ocean, great cities, agriculture up the wazoo, like I said, everything.
‘Nuff said?

I am guessing you are from the East coast?
Take it from a girl that grew up in Miami, Florida, unless you are a certified couch potato with no appreciation for nice people, the outdoors, sunshine, or great steak, get away from the East coast and come West.
I have lived in Colorado for 9 years now and wouldn’t leave it if they offered me 6 figures. The air is clean, I can get to some beautiful hiking with only about a 20-30 minute drive. There is world class rafting in the spring about an hour away and skiing at some of the most impressive resorts in the world about 3 hours from me. Camping, fishing, horseback riding, biking, and just about any other outdoor sport you can think of are only minutes or a couple of hours away.
The best part about anywhere in the Rockies is the weather. I lived in Miami, Boston, and Dayton and hated how humid and dark things got for long periods of time. The heat in Miami and the biting cold in Boston and Dayton were AWFUL. In Colorado the sun is out about 355 days a year. We don’t have hurricanes or tsunamis or earthquakes. Tornadoes hit the plains but near the mountains they are super rare. Gotta luv it!
For things to do, there is mountain biking in Moab, UT; skiing in Dillon, CO; boating in Lake Powell, UT; music and art festivals everywhere; the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone National Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, Mount Rushmore, Roswell, you name it and we have it out here (scuba diving in the quarries kind of sucks, but that is why I live here and vacation in places with warm water).
Good Luck!

Hike in Glacier National Park, Montana. Fantastic scenery, but watch out for the grizzlies and mountain lions-seriously!
