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.

@buckeyeguy82 Год назад

Awesome video Pops & Josh! I enjoyed when Pops got abducted by the aliens, I'd say he should get an award for that performance 😂

@travelwithpops Год назад

@buckeyeguy82 thanks for the vote!!

@nicosaunders8793 Год назад

Love your relationship with Pops- the alien bit was so cute. Thanks for all your hard work into these wonderful videos!

@v.kaycarter2399 Год назад

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😂

@travelwithpops Год назад

@v.kaycarter2399 made my day that your mother enjoyed our silliness! Haha

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

Pops is dad goals!

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 😂⚒

@oodlesofpoodles6382 Год назад

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.

@annjimenez5712 Год назад

Pops is great! Loved his acting -definitely Oscar quality! Great video! 😀

@sverrewiik1175 Год назад

Pops has now revealed himself as an awesome actor! Hollywood next stop! Pops rules!👍

@chriscombs3170 Год назад

Okay, that was the funniest thing I've ever seen! Pops and the alien were the best.

@brindahoward4527 Год назад

Enjoyed watching your trip. Glad Pops made it back safe and sound. LOL

@sharathpd Год назад

Pop's abduction by the alien was hilarious! 😂

@Saffron.Aerowyn_07 Год назад

'Pops' is a natural performer...well done. 😂👋

@vb50562 Год назад

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

@wickedwanda6014 Год назад

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.

@staceyl618 Год назад

Loved the abduction scenes! (including the one in the hotel room) Such beautiful vistas! Thank you for taking us on your trip!

@SwiftyTravels Год назад

👍👍 For the alien abduction! Great tour! So pretty with the snow!

@steveblankenship5474 Год назад

“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.

@Roadtosomethingnew1 Год назад

That scene with pops getting abducted was hilarious

@sachkanade Год назад

Love it! Great acting, pops!😂

@CelesteNewcomb-gh2ic Год назад

Loved Pop’s running down the Highway. ❤ You have some amazing trips. Thank you for all your tips.

@JasminaaaSingh Год назад

I was patiently waiting for you to take this trip 👌🏼thank you

@alant.541 Год назад

That was so fun to watch. Your Pops is funny! Glad you guys weren't abducted...or probed. 🤣

@davidshort2609 Год назад

Had never heard of this highway, another interesting video! Yep, Pops outdid himself this time. That was awesome and hysterically funny!!!

@discostu5426 Год назад

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!

@shutterclick-6922 Год назад

Awesome alien clip with your dad, very funny, shame u didnt get to the gate and seen the camo dudes, great channel. 🇬🇧

@TravelSmallLiveBig Год назад

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.

@rutheiermann3476 Год назад

Love your Pops being caught by an alien 🤣🤣🤣

@wengin Год назад

That was an awesome UFO sighting. 👽🛸Glad that they released your dad after a few experiments. 😅

@chrisconley8105 Год назад

Awesome abduction! Nice job Pop's.

@garyadams5948 Год назад

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 🛸

@maryelmaguire3161 Год назад

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.

@engineerauthorpilot Год назад

That was a great little performance. Pretty humorous. 🤣🤣

@Patriot-American Год назад

Enjoyed watching this video!! Glad your pop got away from the aliens. 😉😎👽

@ginamorgan731 Год назад

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!!!

@travelwithpops Год назад

@ginamorgan731 was funny a couple of cowboys stopped to do selfies with me in the costume haha!

@tomg.4287 Год назад

Great job on going out of your comfort zone at the mine Pops! And sorry about the UFO abduction 😀

@travelwithpops Год назад

Thx for the sympathy haha!

@theathjr Год назад

LOVED that pops alien abduction scene. Lol

@bridgetoconnor7229 Год назад

Another great video by TML! Aliens are always a fun topic! Pops acting gave me a big chuckle! Safe travels and God bless!

@perks6292 Год назад

Now I've got to go see if Pops' letter is still in the Black Mailbox!

Enjoy your travels with your pops👋💯💯👍👍

@sararathbun4268 Год назад

Love your teamwork! Pops rocks!

@CourtneyMcFate Год назад

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!

@wildzenventures Год назад

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 :)

@thewanderingtraveler8984 Год назад

@1958zed Год назад

Yay, Pops!

@RonaldBrown59 Год назад

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.

@dezertraider Год назад

Came to your vid expecting a travel vlog. Didn't expect the spine tingling special effects!

@travelwithpops Год назад

@PatrickRU1992 I totally agree about the incredible realism! Hahaha!

@justtheilluminativ282 Год назад

I’ve always wanted to drive across the Extraterrestrial Highway in Nevada! Great video 👍!

@gamerunner9632 Год назад

You'll need to keep a closer eye on paps the next time you do the ET Highway

@mindysdad3110 Год назад

Way to go Pops!

@rb5078 Год назад

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.

@loristravels Год назад

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).

@travelwithpops Год назад

Fun!!😊

@marthak1111 Год назад

@beverleyonajide4523 Год назад

👋🏽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.

@travelwithpops Год назад

@beverlyonajide4523 so glad you enjoyed it!

@markyuen2312 Год назад

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.

@E-T-FreshJerky Год назад

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. :)

@nancybergeson9485 Год назад

Such a " funtastic " video! So very glad Pop's was able to escape the aliens!

@AmbientWalking Год назад

Amazing way of experiencing the world and the different sites. Thanks! Super love your channel!

@lostinnevadaagain1433 Год назад

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.

@WhoaNellieRVAdventures Год назад

👍👍👍 Thank You for the award winning performance. (from both of you)

@deadairconversion Год назад

@jeffblack3971 Год назад

Pops being abducted was funny

@sharonh5399 Год назад

Awesome video. Love all the little alien stops.

@pamgaines970 Год назад

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

@maryfettig3378 Год назад

Cracking up watching Pops! Great to see this this as I'm unlikely ever to make this drive. Thanks so much !

@Rangerangieontheroad Год назад

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 ... 😆

@CandaceFlorida Год назад

Lol actually so funny with the acting and editing 😂

@rephaelrechitzky9763 Год назад

Thank you. It was a great trip.

@brucelamay8977 Год назад

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

@jocelynkunkle6236 Год назад

Nice job, from a Nevada resident. Next time in Tonopah, visit the Central Nevada Museum. It is excellent .

@ginamorgan731 Год назад

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!!!
