Nevada’s mysterious Extraterrestrial Highway (State Route 375) is a 98-mile stretch of desert road that is famous for UFO sightings, alien lore, and its proximity to the top-secret Area 51. Beyond that though, is a road filled with some amazing desert scenery.

On this trip, we stop at iconic spots like the Little A’Le’Inn, Rachel, Nevada, the back gate to Area 51, and the Black Mailbox, while uncovering the fascinating history of this remote highway and the legends that surround it.
