I think area 51 is just one of those places we all would love to visit,your lucky to go there,i always wonder if it would even be possible to trek in across the desert to a ridge above the place and just glass the area over a period of time.

I'd never entertain the idea of doing it in the summer as there is limited mobile phone coverage and you'd bake before the recovery teams got to you if you ran into problems. 28 minutes ago, W.

I used to think the same. Looking at the security and warnings I wouldn't even joke about it within earshot of the guards. It's still a military facility and carries harsh penalties for trespass. Especially with the amount of people visiting it annually, they're hardly sleeping on the job! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Elk, mule deer, and antelope are all over the place. Coyotes and hares too. Lincoln County, Nevada where Area 51 has a landmass of 10,000 sq miles. England is 50,000 by comparison. There are under 6000 people in the whole county so it can be some harsh country for the unprepared. I live in Washington County Utah which is the county next door and it takes me an hour to drive there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's beautiful country but can be harsh. 40ºC+ in the summer and can get down to -20ºC in the winter. You might need a jacket and a bit of sunscreen! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
