Is Colorado equidistant from the east and west coast?

Colorado is not exactly equidistant from the east and west coasts of the United States. While it is true that Colorado is located in the center of the country from a north-south perspective, the east-west distance is not equal. The distance from Colorado to the west coast is shorter than the distance to the east coast. Specifically, Denver, Colorado is approximately 1,050 miles (1,700 kilometers) from the west coast (San Francisco) and 1,700 miles (2,700 kilometers) from the east coast (New York City).
