More information and history of the meteor crater: Meteor Crater       The Meteor Crater near Flagstaff, Arizona If you drive east of Flagstaff on the I-40 for about 35 miles, you will find exit sign for the meteor crater. Off in the distance you will notice a raised hill in the horizon and it looks like what could be the meteor crater. At this point it is hard to tell but the closer you get to, the more obvious it becomes that it is definately the site of the crater. The entry fee as of July 2008 was $15.00 per adult and it allows you to see the crater and visit the crater museum and gift shop. Information on a sign said that 50,000 years ago, a meteor that was only 45.7 meters or 150 feet in size formed this crater in Arizona that is 1.6 km or 1 mile across. While looking at the crater, it does not feel like you are even on this planet, but instead, on a distant lunar landscape. Along the crater rim, there are walking paths, so you are able to look down into the crater. It is not allowed to enter the crater itself, though. The landscape around the crater was unbelievably vast, flat and uninhabited. This is probably how it also looked tens of thousands of years ago as the meteor hit the area. .................................................................................................................................................
