Norad: America's Secret Underground Nuclear Base

Deep beneath the Cheyenne Mountains in Colorado lies a hidden world of concrete and steel: the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). Built during the Cold War's nuclear standoff, this underground facility was designed to withstand a direct hit from a nuclear bomb and serve as the central command center for the defense of North America. Once a top-secret location, NORAD has since become a popular tourist destination, offering guided tours that showcase its intricate network of tunnels, command centers, and early warning systems. Visitors can learn about the history of NORAD, its role in preventing nuclear war, and the ongoing efforts to protect the continent from potential threats.
