Area 51(ish) Adventure

Under the wide-open skies of Nevada, mystery awaits.

There’s a famous ribbon of pavement that runs past some of the state’s most classified sectors—including Area 51, the top-secret base (and alleged source of countless UFO sightings) that the government didn’t recognize as real until 2013. The Extraterrestrial Highway is home to some otherworldly stops, and while this adventure won’t take you directly to Area 51, it’ll definitely get you a little out there.

Download our FREE Area 51(ish) Adventure to digitally check in at 10 out-of-this-world locations and rack up points toward exclusive UFOs (Uncommon Free Objects).
