The area around the Mars Desert Research Station in Utah definitely makes you feel like you've stepped onto the Red Planet.

The Mars Desert Research Station is located in an area full of bentonite, a clay that expands and retracts when wet or dry, which means plants struggle to get a foothold on the hills. So the red landscape around the Station truly looks like Mars!
