Visited Meteor Crater today, east of Flagstaff. It is one HUGE hole in the ground. Must have been one heck of an impact. Pictures don’t do it justice. On the small fenced in area in the bottom of the crater there is a 6’ tall wooden cutout of an astronaut. Evening zooming in it appears to be tiny. There is an interesting hole in the wall in the courtyard of the visitor’s center with cool views through the ‘window’.
It’s hard to believe but after being at Petrified Forest and now Meteor Crater, I have been within 30 miles of Winslow, AZ twice now and have not made it there to ‘stand on a corner’. Guess it just wasn’t meant to be this trip.
Returned to Flagstaff area and took Sunny on a hike. It was a portion of Arizona Trail and pretty cool for being close to the city. Ate dinner at the popular Horsemen Lodge before turning in for the night.
