Today on our drive towards Big Bend NP, we had three stops.
First, the Meteor Crater east of Flagstaff. This crater was caused by a meteor impact 50,000 years ago. It’s hard to get a concept of the size in a picture, but the crater is a mile across and 700ft deep.
A few hours down the road was the Petrified Forest National Park. The trees are 250 million years old!!
And then our last touristy stop for the day was the Very Large Array. There are twenty-seven radio antennas that work together to explore far stretches of the universe.
