Colorado is home to several natural and man-made wonders that look like something not-of this earth. For instance, there are the colorful Paint Mines (a chalky geologic marvel adorned in several vibrant colors), Silverthorne Ice Castle (which should be pretty self explanatory), and this popular attraction, which is something completely unique and out of this world!

"Coming to you from the heart of the Mystical San Luis Valley" is that of the famous UFO Watchtower; a tall observation deck that boasts a 360-degree view of the San Luis Valley and no light pollution.

Opened in 2000, this unique property was created in order to capitalize on the popularity of UFO watching in the area and has since welcomed curious visitors from around the world.

In addition to hosting guests Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. (during the winter), the UFO Watchtower hosts an annual Cosmic Highway Conference, which allows lovers of the paranormal to come together for three days to listen to speakers, share experiences, and (you guessed it) look for unidentified flying objects.
