Queen City Summit, a climb on the legendary Extraterrestrial Highway
Queen City Summit is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 1.819m (5,967ft) above the sea level, located in Nye County, in the U.S. state of Nevada. It’s the highest point on the Extraterrestrial Highway.
The road to the summit is paved. It’s called Nevada State Route 375 (the Extraterrestrial Highway). Many visitors have reported UFO sightings and other strange activity along the way.
Located in the belly of Nevada and surrounded by miles of desert this lonely route is 159km (98.9 miles) long running east-northwest from Crystal Springs, a ghost town in Lincoln County (on State Route 318) to Warm Springs, a former town in Nye County (on U.S. Route 6). Be mindful of weather conditions. The climb is steep in parts.
