VLA Roadside Attraction

📍 Datil, New Mexico

You stop abruptly at the sight of enormous satellite dishes reaching toward the sky, a surreal and quirky sight in the New Mexican landscape. It feels like you’ve stumbled onto a sci-fi movie set.

While most people know about the Very Large Array radio telescope, few take the time to stop at the roadside pull-off for a closer look at the unique architecture. The sheer scale of the dish is awe-inspiring, making it a quirky photo op.

Explorer Tip

Great spot for sunset photos—don’t miss it!
