Wyoming has exactly five Tri-State points

When you look at a map of our states, a lot of questions can come to mind about the borders. Some states like Wyoming share many borders with other states. Take Wyoming, for example.

Wyoming has exactly five Tri-State points. That would be the locations where three states meet at one exact geographic spot. Wyoming is a square that is sandwiched between other states and odd angles.

Montana-Idaho-Wyoming: Located in a remote, rugged area of Yellowstone National Park.

Idaho-Utah-Wyoming: Located in the rugged Uinta Mountains near the Utah-Wyoming state line.

Utah-Colorado-Wyoming: Located in the rugged, high-desert canyon country at the southern edge of Wyoming.

Colorado-Nebraska-Wyoming: Located about 12 miles south of Pine Bluffs, Wyoming. It sits in a flat, open pasture just 1.3 miles west of Panorama Point, which is the highest point in Nebraska.

Nebraska-South Dakota-Wyoming: Located at the intersection of the eastern border of Wyoming with the southern border of South Dakota and the northern border of Nebraska.

Watch the video below for a visual of these locations.

You can visit a few of these tri points here in Wyoming, but some are on private land.

Missouri and Tennessee are tied for the most neighboring states, with each sharing a border with eight other states.

Missouri borders: Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska.

Tennessee borders: Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Missouri.

Yeah, you have to be a bit of a nerd to want to drive out to these places. But the history behind these borders can be interesting if you bother to look them up.
