The large, natural waterfall that is a one-mile hike on Waterfall Trail is a beautiful stopover. You can swim in the large, deep pool at the base of the fall.

6. Meteor Crater

Have you ever seen a crater? If you haven’t, then it’s a must to go to this mile-long Meteor Crater in Arizona. You don’t get to see things like this every day, so when you get a tour in this place, listen well to your guide to learn more about it. That way, you’ll also get an appreciation of this earthly wonder. By the way, when you’re passing through Winslow, Arizona, be sure to check out the Standin’ on the Corner Park.

Fun fact: Astronauts from NASA train here to prepare for moving around in spacesuits. They also practice picking up and collecting rocks with their space gloves.
