The Extraterrestrial Highway runs 90 miles across a remote part of Nevada and crosses famous locations like Area 51 and the black mailbox. The highway is beautiful and has a stark landscape with large mountains on each side. My dad and I spent a day driving from Tonopah to Crystal Springs and had a blast exploring this unique part of the state. Here is our full road trip and let us know what you think in the comments.

Pops is a great actor.
Awesome video Pops & Josh! I enjoyed when Pops got abducted by the aliens, I'd say he should get an award for that performance 😂
@buckeyeguy82 thanks for the vote!!
Love your relationship with Pops- the alien bit was so cute. Thanks for all your hard work into these wonderful videos!
Another excellent Video Josh. Your dad’s abduction by the alien was hilarious! My elderly mother thought someone was stealing your dad. I say give him the academy award😂
@v.kaycarter2399 made my day that your mother enjoyed our silliness! Haha
So much fun! Pops deserves an award for his acting skills!
I hadn't heard of the Extraterrestrial Highway until I took my 13 year old son with me on a 3 week road trip. He was looking through a road atlas and spotted the highway. He was really excited and told me all about it including the Black mailbox. So, what was a dad to do? I'm glad that he got to see it in person.
Thanks for the video!
What a great dad..a forever memory for your son....and you too😊 cheers from Western Australia
Nevada is such an underrated state in terms of beautiful scenery, especially in winter, Nevada is Spanish for "snow-capped" and if you ever drive through rural Nevada outside of Las Vegas/Clark County you can really see how the state got its name. Northern Nevada especially north of US-50 is like a dreamscape in the winter time. US-50/I-80 through Nevada in the winter is truly one of the most underrated drives in the US. The views of the snow-capped mountains are just breathtaking. Thanks for sharing this. The small town of Rachel is awesome, the Little A'Le'Inn is definitely worth a stop on the highway! Thanks for everything you do Josh and Pops!
Shhhh... there's nothing outside Vegas and Reno- just rocks, cacti, burros, and an occasional haunted ghost town- no need for anyone to leave their cities. Ho hum... off to collect rocks 😂⚒
Pops is dad goals!
Just love your channel and the casual but very thorough explanations. The photography is amazing and it is SO great that you get to travel with "pops". You both seem to be the nicest people. So appreciate that your channel is family friendly and that you don't feel as though you have to act like a 7th grader always having to have every moment being EPIC. So tired of selfies with people and their mouths open. I wish you great success.
Pops is great! Loved his acting -definitely Oscar quality! Great video! 😀
Pops has now revealed himself as an awesome actor! Hollywood next stop! Pops rules!👍
Pop's abduction by the alien was hilarious! 😂
Pops encounter with the alien 👽 hilarious definitely award 🥇 worthy
Okay, that was the funniest thing I've ever seen! Pops and the alien were the best.
“We have been trying to reach you about your extended warranty” is something to leave in that mailbox.
Really a great video and well done.
OMG, Pops had me cracking up. That's actually a really cool costume.
Pops is the best actor in this series! Lol!
'Pops' is a natural performer...well done. 😂👋
That scene with pops getting abducted was hilarious
Looks like you and Pops had a lot fun. It is a lot of open desert. We always took Highway 93 outside of Vegas on our way to Idaho. The desert has its own beauty all its own
I love watching your videos, especially when you show road number. US 6 runs through NYS and PA! I also now know a place I can visit while traveling to Nevada.
Loved the abduction scenes! (including the one in the hotel room) Such beautiful vistas! Thank you for taking us on your trip!
Enjoyed watching your trip. Glad Pops made it back safe and sound. LOL
Ah ha ha!! Love your pops & the alien abduction was hilarious! Josh - i have been watching you from the beginning (and someday will go back & watch the 100 episodes I have missed - lousy cell a lot...) and have loved every moment I have spent watching you. You just keep getting better and better and more fun! So happy you have done so well with these two channels. Such a pleasure to watch.
If we go to the Extraterrestrial Highway, I really want to get that alien costume. What a fun idea!!! Your dad is an awesome actor!!!
@ginamorgan731 was funny a couple of cowboys stopped to do selfies with me in the costume haha!
If you would have gone past the warning sign, down the road just a little bit you would have seen the gate. People go to the gate all the time.
That was so fun to watch. Your Pops is funny! Glad you guys weren't abducted...or probed. 🤣
We did this last Sept. It's a really fun excursion, the roads have many forks so it's hard to get to the right spot, we finally made it to the front gate but it took some driving to find it. We did see the white pick-up gaurding the gate on top of a bluff. that's great advice to fill up before you head there, we almost were running out of gas and i was nervous about getting back to a gas station. Loved the vid!
That was an awesome UFO sighting. 👽🛸Glad that they released your dad after a few experiments. 😅
👍👍 For the alien abduction! Great tour! So pretty with the snow!
Had never heard of this highway, another interesting video! Yep, Pops outdid himself this time. That was awesome and hysterically funny!!!
Loved Pop’s running down the Highway. ❤
You have some amazing trips. Thank you for all your tips.
Now I've got to go see if Pops' letter is still in the Black Mailbox!
Love your Pops being caught by an alien 🤣🤣🤣
I did this trip! My trip was a big loop from Vegas going up the west side of Area 51 up to Tonapah and then coming back down on the east side the way you came. About 9 hours total with stops. Awesome day trip. I loved Rachel and the owner of the Inn. Great times! Awesome video!
Haha Pops getting abducted was incredible
To be honest, it is a good thing that you didn't go beyond that "Warning" sign. The security, aka "Camo Dudes" (because of the camoflage uniform they wear) will detain you, impound your vehicle, and hand you over to the local police.
Another great video by TML! Aliens are always a fun topic! Pops acting gave me a big chuckle! Safe travels and God bless!
I was patiently waiting for you to take this trip 👌🏼thank you
Cool video. Makes me want to go check it out. I don’t believe I would ever think of doing something
like that on my own.
Thanks Josh and Pops 🛸
Awesome alien clip with your dad, very funny, shame u didnt get to the gate and seen the camo dudes, great channel. 🇬🇧
That was a great little performance. Pretty humorous. 🤣🤣
Great job on going out of your comfort zone at the mine Pops! And sorry about the UFO abduction 😀
Thx for the sympathy haha!
Love it! Great acting, pops!😂
Great adventures you two!! I got to visit Tonopah a couple years back, very cool little town! I guess you two survived this hwy since you lived to tell the story :)
This is one of my favorite drives. I’ve stayed at the Mitzpah but not the Clown Motel yet. Stayed at the Little A’le’inn twice. Tons of fun.
LOVED that pops alien abduction scene. Lol
Way to go.... Mr. Pops best performance. Thank you for the content, enjoy seeing both of you in your travels. Keep the good work.
Glad U got Pops back from the aliens. 🤣🤣🤣 Great vlog.
I've never heard of Extraterrestrial Highway, but I haven't spent a lot of time in Nevada. Very interesting journey, and another great travel video on your channel. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome abduction! Nice job Pop's.
Pops made us laugh so hard!! That area is on my list for sure. I even know what I would write for the black mailbox. “I’ve waited and waited and you never came!!”💔. (We thoroughly enjoy your channel. You are a wealth of information. Thank you).
Fun!!😊
Enjoyed watching this video!! Glad your pop got away from the aliens. 😉😎👽
Drove part of this in 2019, it was lots of fun! Rachel, NV is a great stop.
You'll need to keep a closer eye on paps the next time you do the ET Highway
👋🏽Pops😂you crack me up…
I can’t stop watching🤣the Alien snatching you away.
Josh👋🏽you guys are hysterical.
TFS🙏🏽
See you again soon👽I hope.
@beverlyonajide4523 so glad you enjoyed it!
LOL.THEY PUT A BANNER ON YOUR VIDEO,CONGRATULATIONS....VERY COOL,THAT OLD MOTEL IS LIKE A MUSEUM IN ITSELF...SAFE TRAVELS..THANK YOU
Another fun, informative video! Glad that Pops was returned to you in good shape! Can’t wait to see your next adventure!
1:20 beautiful coffee
Enjoy your travels with your pops👋💯💯👍👍
Great video!!! Just a heads up, the Area 51 sign you saw is just preparing you to not cross the actual boundary. I can speak from experience. We stopped at that sign for a few minutes and then my wife freaked out when I took off and drove past it. You can drive right up to the gate while the "Camo Dudes watch you from the hill tops.
to note for your protection TAKE A BEFONG WALKIE TALKIE ABOUT 25.00 EACH UNIT, IN CASE YOUR IN NEED OF HELP , WITHOUT RECEPTION ON CELL PHONE, THE AREA 51 BASE WITH HELP YOU BY CALLING THE LOCAL SHERIFF OFFICE OR A TOW TRUCK TO TAE YOU BACK TO ALAMO,NV FOR REPAIRS NEEDED.
I’ve always wanted to drive across the Extraterrestrial Highway in Nevada! Great video 👍!
Came to your vid expecting a travel vlog. Didn't expect the spine tingling special effects!
@PatrickRU1992 I totally agree about the incredible realism! Hahaha!
I remember staying at the Excaliber Casino back in 2007 and looking out my hotel window, directly across you could seen the parking ramp at McCarren Airport and those white 737s with the orange stripe, rumor had it those jets brought the employees in and out of Area 51 daily
Thumbs up to your Dad! Best costume ever!
I've done this trip before. Its a great drive. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video! Thank you for taking us along!
There was a hike you can do and be able to see onto base from the top of a peak.
Such a " funtastic " video! So very glad Pop's was able to escape the aliens!
Amazing way of experiencing the world and the different sites. Thanks! Super love your channel!
That was too funny!!!! Thank you for the laugh this morning 😇🥰🥰
Oscar goes to Pops for outstanding performance!
Thumbs UP for pops!
Yay, Pops!
Way to go Pops!
Love your teamwork! Pops rocks!
love the video. Pops was great.😁
this is amazing! thank you for the share
Pops being abducted was funny
Thank you for again such a great video!! I love watching them over and over again ! I didn't know about the black mailbox, so cool!
To the aliens: "Hey, you've been watching us, how are we doing so far? Any ideas how to save this planet?"
PS: so hilarious with the abduction, I just loved that costume. Btw, there's a great T-Rex costume... And a Dinosaur National Park... Just saying ... 😆
Thanks Josh, great vid as always
👍👍👍 Thank You for the award winning performance. (from both of you)
Awesome video. Love all the little alien stops.
This was beyond COOL. I thoroughly enjoyed the info about the trip, and the other entertainment.👽 🎊👏🤗
Thanks for the memories my husband and I took that trip in 2006 we were told you can rent a trailer at Rachael for a night or ? If you go on a full moon night you can actually read the newspaper sitting out by the firePit because of the moon and all the stars you will see. We always wanted to do that unfortunately my husband got sick in 2008 passed from that illness in 2014 and we never made it. But your trip really brought me so much joy remembering when we were there. Really I love all your road trips thank you so much for all the happy times
Glad you enjoyed your visit & we hope to see you back here again! We hope to have even more fun things available for your next visit. :)
A cool and comical video.😊
Loved the video!! Pop's was great!!!
Thank you. It was a great trip.
Always great videos bro.
I've driven past both ends of Hwy 373. One year we drove the motorhome from Ely to Tonopah on Hwy 6 and many other times drove Hwy 93 and then Hwy 318 past the junction.
We loved your video & are thinking about going soon. We were watching another video about the Extraterrestrial Highway & saw your note to the aliens in the black mailbox. How cool!!!
Hello 👋 we love watching your video. Your dad is amazing and hilarious. Safe travels!
Nice job, from a Nevada resident. Next time in Tonopah, visit the Central Nevada Museum. It is excellent .
Was there last week. It was freezing and beautiful
Great video, truly enjoyed it
Love your content!
OMGosh. I LOL'd. So funny, and as always, charming and informative. Beautiful photography of the cattle and the mountains.
Made my day👽😂 we love your videos!
