## Description

Cheyenne sits on serious freight infrastructure — just not the airborne kind. Interstate 80 carries one of the heaviest transcontinental truck flows in the country straight through Wyoming's capital, alongside a BNSF intermodal facility and the Union Pacific main line. Cheyenne Regional Airport offers SkyWest/United service to Denver but no scheduled cargo operation, so air shipments run about 160 kilometres south to the Denver hub. On the city's edge, F.E. Warren Air Force Base oversees part of the nation's Minuteman III intercontinental missile force, and each July the Cheyenne Frontier Days fill the city with the self-styled 'Daddy of 'em All' rodeo.
