We saw the meteor crater in Arizona. It is 570 ft. deep and 3/4 mi. across. It is an impressive and hardly unchanged piece of land considering the impact occured 50 million years ago (dinosaurs were still roaming the earth). With this piece of evidence left behind, it is nice to know that NASA is monitoring the skies. There was a $30 charge to see the meteor crater which gives you the priveledge of walking through the museum. It was a welcome break from the drive so it was worth it.
Arizona is packed with sites to see. We could have spent a week travelling around to see all of the natural wonders this state has to offer. Took a quick detour (following a misleading tourist trap sign) through a small town to see the Petrified Forest National Park. We have some photos of petrified wood and Brian bought a few pieces as souveniers.
Onward to Albuquerque.
