Meteor Crater

After visiting the Grand Canyon and spending the night in Scottsdale at a hotel. We headed to check out the Meteor Crater, just east of Flagstaff, AZ. Pretty cool experience as well.

It's the world’s best preserved meteorite impact site in Northern Arizona near Winslow. Meteor Crater is the breath-taking result of a collision between a piece of an asteroid traveling at 26,000 miles per hour and planet Earth approximately 50,000 years ago.

Today, Meteor Crater is nearly one mile across, 2.4 miles in circumference and more than 550 feet deep.
