Eastern Wyoming is harsh, windy and exactly like you say. The I-80 corridor is a wind tunnel.
Cheyenne is actually a nice town in my opinion and an hour from Denver. It might not be right for a lot of HN people but I like the town. The surrounding country is just rolling windy plains though.
North Central and Western parts of Wyoming however are gorgeous. I particularly like Thermopolis where GF's family is from. It's a tiny little town deep in a canyon on the wind and bighorn rivers. Hot springs abound. It's probably not the right place for young single techies but it's great country and great fishing. I found the people friendly enough but not overly.
