Meteor Crater.




After we left The Rally, we made our way across AZ. We made a stop in Winslow, AZ to see the meteor crater. Said to be created over 50,000,000 years ago, Meteor Crater is over 4,000 feet across, and 550 feet deep. We were able to view and touch a 1,406 pound meteorite fragment, the largest ever found in the area.

This was definitely a fascinating sight to behold and although the admission price was a bit steep, it was really interesting. If you ever have the opportunity to view a crater, I highly recommend it.
