UFO’s have been the topic of pop culture ever since the first reported encounter. The idea that aliens exist and have been visiting us is exciting and terrifying. Stories about abductions, encounters, and political interactions have been in the headlines for decades and the subject of countless pop culture hits.

The Pacific Crest Trail, a trail that spans over 2,600 miles along the west coast of the United States, attracts hikers from all over the world. Taking almost 5 months to complete, finishing the PCT is a feat very few have achieved. Along the way, hikers experience the burning heat of the Mojave desert, the stunning snow capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, and the tranquil beauty of the Northwest’s temperate rain forests.

Deep in the Nevada desert lies a location that’s been at the center of dozens of conspiracy theories since the 1940’s. Stories of Alien autopsies, reverse engineered alien spacecraft, and the faking of the 1969 moon landing are talked about to this day.
