Meteor Crater

The Meteor Crater is the result of  a brilliant meteor hurtling toward Earth about 26,000 mph. Oh, it happened some 50,000 years ago. It was believed to have been a huge iron-nickel meteorite and was about 150 feet across  and weighed in at several hundred thousand tons. This meteor in seconds created a crater 700 feet deep and 4000 feet across.









The San Franciscan Peaks loom off in the distance from the
 the Meteor Crater. We saw the Peaks from
many locations that we now realized the Sinaguan people
also saw and viewed them as spiritual.
