Arizona: Meteor Crater and Flagstaff

We were headed to Flagstaff when we saw the exit sign for the great Meteor Crater, so we decided to stop and take a look.



We stayed here at Camp Navajo, a National Guard base, 7500 feet elevation. Much prettier than the dessert looking photos above of Arizona. Arizona is quite diverse in terrain! We were here May 25-27th. I wish I had gotten the mtn. photo earlier in the morning. It had much more snow on top of it because it had snowed the night before. Some of the trees are down from the tornado that ripped through last October, according to the camp host. The bldg is the bathhouse.
Highs were in the 70s and lows 30-40s. Perfect!

The mountain above is part of the Sacramento Mountains Range.
A nice stream runs at the bottom of the hill of the campground.
We saw deer tracks here, and look at the wild growing columbine flowers!
