| Dark Roasted Blend: The Most Alien-Looking Place on Earth "Imagine waking up on the Socotra Island and taking a good look around you (let's say your buddies pulled a prank on you and delivered you there, and lets also assume that you don't have any hangover from abuse of any substances). After a yelp of disbelief, you'd be inclined to think you were transported to another planet - or traveled to another era of Earth's history." Just look at the pictures, and you'll see exactly how crazy it is. Many plant and animal species only exist on this tiny island, which makes it so precious.

| I dunno...personally, I think the "Badlands" in SD come pretty close as well, and I HAVE gotten high there multiple times. I LOVE going there in the most "offseason" you can get (usually winter). You have the entire park, which is HUGE, basically to yourself, and is quite the humbling experience. It certainly makes you feel tiny and insignificant!

| The main highway, I think it was 70, that goes through Utah has some insane terrain.There is a stretch of 120 miles or so with no towns and it crosses and area that looks like some bizarre alien landscape. It is desert, but it's all different colors and is very foreboding. I got new respect for the pioneers that crossed it and the natives of the area. IF I came out of colorado in a wagon and saw that ahead of me I would have turned back! Nice find, I'd like to visit that island, those dragon blood trees look insane

| I think the most alien place I've ever seen is White Sands, New Mexico. ![]() ![]() ![]() Socotra Island is cool, though.
