The state of Wyoming has a wide range of landscapes that appear otherworldly. The geysers and rock formations really add to that out-of-this-world ambience. Here are some places in Wyoming that make it look and feel like you’re on another planet.
- Devils Tower
Flickr/Jerry and Pat Donaho Devils Tower is located in Crook County in Wyoming. This odd formation is part of the Bear Lodge Mountains near Hulett and Sundance. It looks like an alien mothership will take off any moment from the top of the tower. In fact, it did in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
- Grand Prismatic Geyser Basin
Flickr/Tupulak Grand Prismatic Geyser is located in the Midway Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park. This looks like a great hangout for aliens.
- Boar’s Tusk
Flickr/carfull…assignment: Mongolia This otherworldly formation is what’s left of a volcano and is located in Sweetwater County near the Killpecker Sand Dunes. This looks like an alien playground.
- White Mountain Petroglyph
Flickr/carfull…assignment: Mongolia The White Mountain Petroglyph is located in Wyoming’s Red Desert. Doesn’t that look like the hand of an alien?
- Mammoth Hot Springs
Flickr/v1ctory_1s_m1ne These are actually travertine terraces at Mammoth Hot Springs. These look like stepping stones that lead to somewhere out of this world.
- Hell’s Half Acre
Flickr/Nathan Hamm Hell’s Half Acre is located west of Casper. This looks and feels like you’re on another planet. In fact, it was the planet of Klendathu in Starship Troopers.
- Piedmont Charcoal Kilns
Flickr/Jimmy Emerson, DVM Don’t these look like alien homes? These are located in Piedmont, Wyoming.
- Norris Geyser Basin
Flickr/J. Stephen Conn These are fumaroles at Norris Geyser Basin which is located at the northwestern portion of the Yellowstone Caldera close to Norris Junction. These extraterrestrial beings are letting off a little steam.
- Excelsior Geyser
Flickr/Cocoabiscuit Excelsior Geyser is located in Yellowstone National Park. The boardwalk will take you through the steamy clouds all the way to another planet.
- Grand Teton

Are there any other locations that look like they’re on another planet?
