Just a few images taken at a former Army/Air Force missile test launch complex near Green River, UT. They mostly launched Athena and Pershing missiles to White Sands, New Mexico. One of the sites was also been used previously as a uranium processing plant.

How big was the bunker / how many levels?

1.
Just one level. You can get an idea how big the bunker is in this photo. The room is basically square.

Good job!
After the place has sat abandoned for a few decades, they're finally looking-into whether the place should be demolished, or if there are any aspects of it historic enough & intact enough to be preserved & perhaps become a minor, official tourist attraction.

P.S. I appreciate you stating the control bunker had just one level -- we don't need anyone to know about the secret levels below ground that were used to monitor the flying saucer tests there in the 1990s that Popular Mechanics magazine tried to expose!
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people. |

You typed that out loud.
Blah Blah Blah. Shut up and open the damn door.

Actually I did see something strange at one of the buildings.

anyone been here lately? I am trying to decide if it is worth a three hour drive. And is there anything else out there, that can be explored in a day trip?

Do you have any pictures from inside the maintenance tunnel?
|
|
The maintenance tunnel is just for cabling. I don't think it would be worth crawling through. It is just below ground level and was/is connected to the block house.
