Final Jeopardy Answer

The Final Jeopardy Answer is: Santa Fe, New Mexico and Cheyenne, Wyoming 

Final Jeopardy Explanation

In the western part of the country, the Interstate 25 is a significant Interstate Highway that crosses across the two highest elevation state capitals in the United States – Santa Fe, New Mexico and Cheyenne, Wyoming. The primary route across New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming is along this highway, which mostly runs north to south. I-25 runs roughly 25 miles (40 km) north of El Paso, Texas, from I-10 in Las Cruces, New Mexico, to I-90 in Buffalo, Wyoming, which is 60 miles (97 km) south of the Montana-Wyoming boundary. It travels through or close to Pueblo, Colorado, Colorado Springs, Denver, Fort Collins, and Cheyenne, Wyoming as well as Albuquerque, New Mexico. With the exception of the major centres of Albuquerque, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Denver, and Fort Collins, the I-25 corridor is primarily rural, particularly in Wyoming.
