Today, Ginny and I toured the Barringer Meteor Crater. The Meteor Crater lies at an elevation of 5,640 ft above sea level. It is about 3,900 ft in diameter and some 560 ft deep. The crater was created about 50,000 years ago during the Pleistocene epoch. During the 1960s and 1970s, NASA astronauts trained in the crater to prepare for the Apollo missions to the Moon.
