National Geographic photographer Aaron Huey went to Burning Man and all he brought back were these awesome photos.
Burning Man, an annual event in the desert of Nevada, describes itself as a "temporary metropolis dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance." What started in 1986 as two friends burning an eight-foot statue on a San Francisco beach has grown, quite literally, into a statue as tall as 105 feet that is burned down at the end of each event around the summer solstice. Live through some amazing moments at Burning Man 2016 and get inspired to attend this year's event.
Options for purchasing tickets are detailed on the Burning Man website. Ticket prices vary from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. If you’re parking a vehicle, you’ll also need a vehicle pass.
Water! (Veterans say 1.5 gallons per person per day; we used about a gallon per person.) Enough easy-to-prepare-and-eat food for your entire stay. Sunscreen. Sanitary wipes. Hat. Headlamp. Dust mask. Goggles. More than one pair of sunglasses. LED lights. Festive attire. Gifts. Trash bags (leave no trace).

The website has detailed information and directions. Traffic tip: Expect to wait in line many hours while entering and leaving the event. For a shorter queue, arrive...
From pitching a tent to parking a luxury RV, attendees have a spectrum of options. We rented a camper van from JUCY and found it extremely comfortable and convenient, and comparatively affordable. (Note: The camper doesn’t have a toilet or shower.)
