First Area 51 / nuclear road trip from LA - any advice?
Hello everyone!
I’ve been going through the posts here and saw the maps, but apparently I’m having a stupid blonde moment because I genuinely cannot understand where exactly we can and cannot go (and the map refuses to properly load on my phone).
My best friend wanted to take me on a little alien/nuclear road trip from Los Angeles, so we have two days to see as much as possible. We’re driving through Death Valley, doing the Extraterrestrial Highway, and spending the night at the Little A’Le’Inn.
I’m mostly trying to understand which roads/areas are actually accessible and where the restricted zones begin, as we definitely don’t want to accidentally end up in troubles.
Also would love recommendations for the coolest stops along the way - nuclear sites, Area 51, military history, ghost towns, weird desert places, anything really cool that’s worth a detour.
If you had two days going LA → Death Valley → Area 51, what would you absolutely not miss?
Truly apologize if this has been asked thousands times, I honestly did my homework, I just failed the map part…
