Hawaii is the widest state east to west.
-- The only state directly north of Hawaii is Alaska. -- The only state directly south of Hawaii is also Alaska. -- The state directly east of Hawaii is the state of Nayarit in Mexico. To reach one in the US, you have to go a little north of east. Then the first one you hit is California. -- The state directly west of Hawaii is the province of Guangdong in China. To reach one in the US, you have to go slightly north of east. Then you can hit Florida.
Several sources found on the internet, among them the Hawaii state tourist board, Yahoo, and the US States Almanac, all agree that Hawaii is the widest state on an east-west axis. However, as the global divisional point between east and west is 180° longitude. And that Alaska spans across the 180° longitude line; if you are to measure FROM the "eastern" most point of Alaska (at 180° longitude) TO the "western" most point of Alaska (also at 180° longitude) at approximate the 50th parallel; then you have a measurement of approximated 17,000 miles -- clearly making Alaska the widest state as measured FROM east TO west.
Honolulu, Hawaii is the only state capital in the US that is west of 150 degrees W longitude.
The state farthest west in the United States is Alaska.
EAST
It's north, Alaska is northwest of Canada
The capital of Alaska (Juneau) is east of the capital of Hawaii (Honolulu), and much farther north.Although the Aleutian Islands of Alaska extend farther west than the Hawaiian Islands, Juneau is on the extreme southeast coast of Alaska, close to the border of British Columbia and the Yukon Teritory. Its longitude is about 134°W while Honolulu's is out at 157°W.yes

The Mississippi River does not run through Alaska or Canada. It is in the contiguous U.S. states southeast of Alaska.
The Mississippi River is not in Alaska. I assume that you meant Minnesota rather than Alaska. Saint Paul is the capital city in Minnesota. The city is on the east bank of the Mississippi River.

Alaska is technically father west because its islands extend further west than Hawaii. Hawaii is further west if only the mainland of Alaska is being considered.
