I spent most of my life in Colorado on what is known as the Western Slope. It is the western side of the state on the other side of the continental divide.
Denver, Colorado Springs, and Boulder are all on the Eastern Slope. The Western Slope feels like a completely different state but it is held in thrall to the whims of the population centers on the Eastern Slope.
I remember the vote on water rights and such going very much against people on the Western Slope when it was the water running right by their house because some people on the Eastern Slope in the Denver area convinced enough people there to vote the way they wanted.
In reality they should split Colorado in half along the Continental Divide.
The most populated city (not that big really) on the Western Slope is Grand Junction.
