A lot of stories back and forth on whether a meteor annihilated the dinosaurs but this is a fun day to see what happens when something hits the Earth. Can you just imagine if you were here when this baby hit just north of Phoenix and east of Flagstaff? Meteor Crater Visitor Center is located off I-40 at exit 233, Meteor Crater Road, then 6 miles south on the paved road. 35 miles east of Flagstaff, 20 miles west of Winslow, in Arizona, USA
I love history and just learning, they have a small meteorite inside that you can touch, way cool.
If you spend some time looking around the site, you can spot all sorts of bugs, lizards and more. Be careful so you don’t accidentally fall in, its deep.
