The world’s best preserved meteorite impact site on Earth. Located just minutes from Interstate 40 in Northern Arizonanear Winslow, Meteor Crater is the breath-taking result of a collision between an asteroid traveling 26,000 miles per hour and planet Earth approximately 50,000 years ago.
Meteor Crater is nearly one mile across, 2.4 miles in circumference and more than 550 feet deep. It is an international tourist venue with outdoor observation trails, air conditioned indoor viewing, wide screen movie theater, Interactive Discovery Center, unique gift and rock shop, and Astronaut Memorial Park at the Visitor Center located on the crater rim.
While on our way from Flagstaff, we were determined to visit this Meteor Crater and found the sight very thrilling to the eye.
