Finding a forgotten stop in the Nevada desert has its own kind of pull. Warm Springs catches that feeling in one glance, because it is three places at once: a hot spring site, a former stage stop, and one of those ghost towns that seem stranded between centuries. Still, set your expectations early. This is not a developed soaking spot. It is a historic roadside ruin on private property at the junction of US 6 and State Route 375, the start of the Extraterrestrial highway. That makes it an easy add-on for an alien-country road trip, if you want history with your empty desert miles.Just west across the Extraterrestrial highway from Ash Springs/Crystal Springs and Close to Area 51.

To understand why it matters, you have to look at five pieces of the puzzle: the base, the gate, Rachel, the Extraterrestrial Highway, and the stories that refuse to die.
