The state named the highway itself in 1996; the lights are folklore, the boundary law is not
Nevada 375 through Rachel got its official state name in 1996 because of what people say they see over the Groom Range: lights that hover, split and snap across the sky. The classified test site beyond the ridge is real and very much off-limits, which is exactly why the folklore thrives. Watch from the highway and the Little A’Le’Inn like everyone else; the boundary is patrolled, signed, and absolutely not a dare.
