Our tour in Meteor Crater

We visited the Meteor Crater for the first time. It is always fun and exciting trip for the family. The museum is small and had interesting to offer. The tour guide is friendly and helpful.It was an interesting tour. You can't go down in the rim and it has a fence because of the people who are trying to go down and it's dangerous and they don't want to take any liability.

You can see the crater in the observatory deck where they provided.Meteor Crater used in the early 70s as a test ground for NASA astronauts practiced lunar exploration as the Crater.


Meteor Crater is located off I-40 at exit 233, then 6 miles south on the paved road. 35 miles east of Flagstaff, 20 miles west of Winslow, in Arizona, USA.

Travelentz is very thankful to see this kind of historic sites before I go forward in my  next  adventure in America.
