About 50,000 years ago, a meteorite slammed into the Arizona desert at twenty-six thousand miles an hour, leaving a scar nearly one mile wide and over 550 feet deep. Today, Meteor Crater is a popular attraction and the best-preserved meteorite impact site on Earth, where visitors can walk along rim trails, explore the interactive visitor center, and marvel at this extraordinary slice of cosmic history. Located 26 miles west on I-40, The Winslow makes it easy to visit this incredible natural wonder while enjoying a comfortable and relaxing stay.
