Meteor Crater


We took in some sites in Northern Arizona, this one being Meteor Crater near Flagstaff. A meteor struck this spot 50,000 years ago and buried itself 3000 feet below the Earth's surface.

Grand Canyon on a Grand Day


The weather really cooperated with our Grand Canyon tour. Although cool in the shade there was no wind and getting out in the sun was nice and warm.
