    No it isn’t. Utah is between them. Reno to Denver is a 15 hour drive and just shy of 1,000 miles. It’s pretty comparable to driving from Amsterdam to Barcelona. I know for a fact Europeans take shorter flights than that on a regular basis. Is that sufficient explanation for you or do you still want to be an asshole about a guy trying to get closure for his dead friend?

      It’s illegal to fly domestically in parts of Europe, and it should be the same in the US. There’s trains.

        It definitely is not. The closest is France banning short flights where there are alternative train routes available of 2.5 hours or less, which would be equivalent to a 30-40 minutes flight.

        Flying from Nevada to Colorado takes almost 2 hours, there is no train route, and bus takes a full day.
