If you’ve lived in Nevada for any amount of time, you’re probably well-aware of the bizarre destinations our state contains. There are all sorts of wacky roadside attractions just waiting to be discovered, especially along what’s been dubbed the ‘Extaterrestrial Highway’. It’s here you’ll find some of Nevada’s most otherworldly attractions, including a funky little jerky stand that you definitely don’t want to pass up. After all, nothing hits the spot like some alien jerky after a long day on the road!
The super tiny community of Hiko can be found in the Tonopah Basin along State Route 318. With a population of just 119 residents, this town isn't on many people's radar. However, it's here you'll find one of Nevada's wackiest stores.
E.T. Fresh Jerky is definitely a contender for one of the strangest roadside attractions in the state. It may be located in the middle of nowhere, but this jerky stand is hard to miss. All you have to do is keep an eye out for the aliens!
Boasting plenty of eccentric character and clean bathrooms, it makes for the perfect little rest stop during your Extraterrestrial Highway adventures. Park the car, stretch your legs, and pick up some of the planet's wackiest snacks.
The store's interior is quaint but definitely delivers on what it promises. You'll find the place chock full of fresh beef jerky. Grab a bag of jerky with amusing flavors like "Area 51 Classified Teriyaki Time Travel" or "Hell Hole Hot Beef Jerky".
Additionally, E.T. Fresh Jerky boasts a wide selection of beverages, candy, nuts, dried snacks, and so much more. You won't be able to resist picking up a few things to take on the road with you.
However, the wild and wacky vibe may just be the thing we love most about this remote jerky stand. Take a photo with the larger-than-life alien murals outside and soak up the weirdness of Nevada's alien country!
Whether you're an alien enthusiast or you just love some delicious jerky, a stop by E.T. Fresh Jerky is a must when you find yourself passing through this area. This cosmic destination is just so easy to love.
