The Mars Desert Research Station, built by the Mars Society, is a private research lab begun in 2001 with continuing study into issues of human habitability on the red planet.
Visitors are not allowed, but they can drive by the MDRS and get a look from 225 yards away on Cow Dung Road NW of Hanksville, Utah.
Outwardly the site looks credibly like Mars, but Earthbound research cannot simulate the thin Martian atmosphere without oxygen, Martian gravity, the barrenness of the land (no plants or animals), the cold, and the vast distance from help. I'm sure the researchers appreciate the fact that the Burger Shack in Hanksville is just a 7-mile drive away.
For information on the station, see mdrs.marssociety.org.
Utah Badlands Abstract - Drone View of the colorful patterns seen at the Bentonite Hills in the southern Utah Badlands.
The Bentonite Hills appear as softly contoured, banded hills in varying hues of brown, red, purple, gray, and green.
The hills are composed of the Brushy Basin shale member of the Morrison Formation. This layer was formed during Jurassic times when mud, silt, fine sand, and volcanic ash were deposited in swamps and lakes.
This image is available in color as well as black and white.

If you're like me, finding out that there's an association working towards the colonization of Mars would be very interesting.
Finding out that there's a test & training installation, a prototype of the Red Planet habitat, and that you're going to be practically passing right by it would make it irresistible. I mean, some things you just have to see for yourself, right?
Unexpected things show up, unexpected questions are raised... like, what WOULD the plan be for bathrooms on Mars?
