The Alamosa-area UFO Watchtower is a must-visit for extraterrestrial seekers looking for a chance to spot a UFO or alien for themselves. And it provides a unique opportunity to camp.

Located in the San Luis Valley, the watchtower is a 10-foot-tall viewing platform, giving viewers an excellent place to watch for UFOs in a part of the state with little light pollution.

The observation platform has played host to numerous UFO sightings over the years, which could partly be because of Alamosa’s “vast and unfiltered view of the night’s sky.” The watchtower offers information and theories on past sightings and as well as looking out for UFOs and aliens, visitors can enjoy camping and stargazing in the area.

The UFO Watchtower is also near the Great Sand Dunes National Park, so it’s a great roadside stop on your way to the dunes.
