The drive down Cow Dung Road (yes, really) passes the Mars Desert Research Station which “is a space analog facility in Utah that supports Earth-based research in pursuit of the technology, operations, and science required for human space exploration” (per their website). It’s a private facility not open to the public but can be photographed from the dirt road. Cow Dung Road dead ends at the Burpee Dinosaur Quarry which is one of the largest dinosaur quarries in the United States. There is a trail that winds through the bentonite near the quarry. The dirt/clay road curves through 7.4 miles of colorful bentonite hills.
