The Extraterrestrial Highway, also known as Route 375, is a stretch of road in Nevada, USA, located about an hour and a half drive from Las Vegas. The road is known for its association with the nearby Area 51, a highly-secured military base that has long been rumored to be the site of research and experimentation on extraterrestrial technology and UFOs.
The Extraterrestrial Highway starts in the town of Rachel, Nevada and runs for 98 miles (158km) through the remote and rugged desert landscape of the Nevada Test and Training Range. Along the way, visitors can see the Little A’Le’Inn, a small hotel and restaurant, which is a popular spot for tourists visiting the area.
While the Extraterrestrial Highway is a popular destination for those interested in UFOs and extraterrestrial phenomena, it’s also a great spot for those who enjoy the desert scenery. The route offers great views of the Nellis Dunes, the Tikaboo Valley, the Groom Lake and the Papoose Range. Visitors can also take a detour to the nearby Black Mailbox, which is a mailbox that has been painted black and decorated with aliens.
It’s important to note that the Nevada Test and Training Range is a military training area and access is restricted, visitors should not attempt to enter the restricted area and should respect the signs and instructions from the military personnel.
