3/25/07 - Meteor Crater, AZ

In the morning we went on a tour of the meteor crater guided by a cool Navajo Indian. He was very knowledgeable about the history and geology of the crater. I’ve been to the crater a couple of times before but it was Carolyn’s first time (although she had seen it from an airliner). This is the best preserved meteor crater in the world and is about a mile in diameter. It makes the Odessa crater look like a gopher hole. Then we went to Walnut Canyon National Park and hiked down into the canyon to see the cliff dwellings. Then we went into Flagstaff and sampled the beers at Beaver Street Brewing and Flagstaff Brewing. Then we drove to Sedona on a scenic highway and bought some Indian jewelry at the Oak Creek Canyon overlook. We drove around Sedona and took pictures of the gorgeous red rocks and cliffs. Sedona is incredibly touristy compared to the last time we were there. Then we returned to Flagstaff and sampled the beers at Mogollon Brewpub. It is amazing that a small town like Flagstaff can support three brewpubs while Houston has only one.
