I've rode on that stretch of road a few times. The sense of wide open space is the feeling I get.
9:50 uuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh what? Are you saying that Wyoming is very unique because of how they make big rural roadwork to keep road workers safe from traffic? I thought it was common practice! It's the same in Quebec (90 km/h severe speed limit rather than 100, as usual in the Province) and seeing videos from HWYItalia, it's the same in Italy.
I find it somewhat disappointing that it's a rare practice in USA with such an extended freeway network as the Interstates.
Don't Get Lost Many states at the states in the far west just reduce to one lane on each side without converting into a two lane road. Works are just protected by traffic cones, yes they are in place for a reason but people are stupid enough to cross those cones and accidentally hit workers. This two lane highway method should be a federal standard but states vary with how they do things, even something as national as the interstate highway system.
Michigan uses the same road work configuration where traffic allows, mainly interstates & didvided hiways.
Yep, and that is the only part of I-80 that I have never been on in Wyoming. Very nice indeed!
5:43 Whoa! Thats a really steep ascent! Whats the grade? Any idea?

Stunning videos,thank you for the effort but really the horrible,,music,, does no justice to it, tak tak takapparantly it has become stuck witout you noticing it
Great video! It's an interesting drive through high desert and a side trip to Ft. Bridger is worth it. You picked an interesting time of the year for your trip--there's more color than just brown.
I like Wyoming, which I lovingly like to call the Tibet of America due to its high elevation
It looks like a little bit like las vegas. But Wyoming is a boring state. Nothing really happens there.
Hey InterstateKyle Evanston to Green River where Wyoming !
Such an amazing video. My home state of Pennsylvania does construction zones on interstates the same way sometimes, or at least they used. After learning about how scary I-70 going through one of their mountain passes, I think I would rather go this way.
Lol you can see my house there in Evanston
That's the genre of music I would use!
I love Little America. Their ice cream cones are perfection (used to be 50 cents, but now they're 75 cents). It's a great place to spend the night, or do a rest stop for an hour or so (the main restaurant has great food), and the gas station has plenty of goodies for the long drive ahead of you. The one thing that I hate about Wyoming is the wind on the I-80... it's sometimes strong enough to tip a big-rig over.
It's been something like 25 years since I was up there... Making up for that this summer. It's gonna be a blast!
Kaydrah Communications Wanderlust Enjoy it my friend!
Man the stretch before fort Bridger aka highway to heaven would always bog my rig down coming on the upslope when I was hauling loads. But it sure is pretty I'd usually stop at that ta truck stop for the night depending on which way I was coming from.
Good one
Having seen some of yours (and Freeway Jim's) I-70 videos, I can see why some would prefer 70, but this one's not bad. There is quite a bit of history on 80, but 70 seems to be more scenic.On a Nevada video, you showed the Carlin Tunnel: where's the third tunnel on 80?
Pennsylvania
Yerba Buena Tunnel in CA... None in Pennsylvania
Try making the trip in a 26' Penske, those Wyoming winds are no joke 40-60 mph gust. Made the trip from Yuba county in Californica to Eastern Ohio in 3 days. Day one was 1300 miles. Averaged 900 mile days.
Thanks for the video from Alberta! Nice for trip planning!
Last went through there in 2009 while moving from Seattle to Columbus, OH. Spent the night at Little America.
I hitchhiked from Evanston Wyoming to ft Myers beach fla unbelievable 7 days made it yr 2000unreal trucker's all the way
ME ENCANTÓ ESTE VÍDEO.LES DOY LAS GRACIAS A TODOS LOS QUE PARTICIPARON EN EL.HERMOSO.DESDE SANTO DOMINGO/SALUDOS.QUE TODO LES SALGA SUPER BIEN.GRACIAS MIS HERMANOS.PAZ.
@6:44 I thought that was the coolest guide sign I've ever seen. I drove from Evanston to Pine Bluffs during a spring break 2021 road trip from Texas. I fell in love with Wyoming. Drove on Interstate 80 the day after it reopened. So many trucks.
Sure, I-80 has the historical aspect to it, but a lot of people don't have the time to leave the interstate and explore these towns, as that's the only way to really learn about their history. Most people are focused on getting where they need to go- that's really the reason why interstates exist in the first place.
I-70 though, you can enjoy the scenery without getting out of the car. It has lower speed linits, sure, but that just gives you more time to soak it all in. In addition, the towns that it passes have a different kind of history, as mining and skiing towns.
Sorry for the long comment, just wanted to point something out.
I've seen and experienced the putting both directions of travel on one side of the interstate highway a lot. I think that tactic is used if the work on the side being worked on is either major, or involves bridges, or wants to be accomplished relatively quickly.
I grew up here, I soooo took this scenery for granted!!!
I’ve seen that in Oregon, Montana, and parts of Idaho.
my favorite section of 80
Broke down in Evanston once. I noticed that there were several large stores selling fireworks. Guess they're illegal in Utah.
Used to be, until several years ago... at least anything of size was illegal in UT
No mountains ☹️
Yep. I-80 lacks mountains along it's entire journey across the state. There's like a gap in the Rocky Mountains and I-80 passes right thru that high elevation plateau region. Literally just steppe, plateaus and boom your in the Great Plains in Cheyenne.
Yes I live in Oklahoma where it’s flat as the earth... but no matter where you go I’m along for the ride☺️❤️
@@christinabrodrick6406 I live in Alabama where we got Mountains and hills up North, but in the Central and South part of the state it is flat with plains, I live in Central Alabama .
First
The Three Sisters
Awesome video! I always learn so much from your videos :)
Carson Braton Thank you!
►►► okay video ☺
I can see why some roadgeeks bypass it because some of it is boring
Matt Schehr Yeah, not what you would expect with the area, I mean besides the Wasatch mountains in Utah, there’s no major mountain range I-80 crosses the entirety of Wyoming, you pretty much cross a variety of steppe and plains before transitioning into the Great Plains in Cheyenne; though you cross its highest point west of Cheyenne.
InterstateKyle yeah it’s highest point is over 8,000 feet west of Laramie
do a face reveal
Mike hunt he has revealed check out his channel
What camera do you use?
