Meteor Crater

Meteor Crater

Meteor Crater is an interesting attraction, juts of Interstate 40 in northern Arizona. If your are heading towards Flagstaff and have some time, it is certainly worth the short detour off the main road. The crater is actually massive, and will take your breath away. I did find myself wondering, ‘why does the desert in Arizona have all the cool stuff’.

Silver Bullet
Who can resist the sight of a ‘silver bullet’ trailer in the American desert? Not me, and that’s what rolled by me on the what to the Meteor Crater in northern Arizona. An iconic Americana sight for sure. 2021.
