Northern Arizona Meteor Crater og Walnut Canyon fra Phoenix - Privat tur
Beskrivelse
Denne dagstur giver dig chancen for at vove dig nordpå fra Phoenix-området for at se flere historiske steder, som besøgende kommer fra hele verden for at se. Dette giver dig mulighed for at opleve flere interessante steder, der er så vigtige i Arizonas historie. Vores første stop vil være ved Walnut Canyon National Monument, hvor du vil have en chance for at lære mere om området i besøgscentret og også gå den øverste sti, der fører dig lige til mange gamle boliger lige på stien. Derefter afsted til Meteor-krateret, som er sådan en unik oplevelse at se og være i stand til at gå lige ud og stå på kanten. Så er vi afsted til Winslow til frokost og et besøg i det berømte hjørne, der er gjort berømt i en Eagles-sang ("Take It Easy"). Mens vi er i Winslow vil vi besøge det historiske La Posada Hotel for en god frokost (inkluderet op til $20 per person). Når vi vender tilbage til Phoenix, går vi gennem Sunset Pass og vores ponderosa-skov.

Rejseplan
Walnut Canyon har en lang menneskelig historie. Artefakter viser, at arkaiske folk, der rejste gennem det sydvestlige for tusinder af år siden, til tider besatte kløften. Senere kom de første faste indbyggere, som blomstrede i regionen fra omkring 600 e.Kr. til 1400. Du kan nu se monumentet på nogle få måder; Nyd en vidstrakt udsigt over Walnut Canyon og se klippeboliger på afstand fra besøgscentrets to observationspunkter, eller tag en af de to stier for at komme tæt på de gamle boliger. Rim Trail er 0,7 mile eller omkring 30 minutter eller Island Trail, som er 1 mile og tager omkring en time.
Meteor Crater, også kaldet Barringer Crater, er et meteoritnedslagskrater cirka 37 miles øst for Flagstaff og 18 miles vest for Winslow. I løbet af 1960'erne og 1970'erne trænede NASA-astronauter i krateret for at forberede sig til Apollo-missionerne til Månen. Meteorkrateret er et af de få steder på jorden, der er et blotlagt, og stadig helt intakt, meteoritnedslagssted, der ville efterligne månens overflade. I 1984 filmede John Carpenter-filmen Starman med Jeff Bridges nogle her. Besøg også Barringer Space Museum. En gåtur ud på udsigtsplatformen er den bedste måde at se krateret på.
Jackson Browne og Glen Frey fra Eagles skrev en sang kaldet "Take It Easy" i 1972, en af de populære linjer i sangen lyder, "Standing on the corner in Winslow Arizona". I 1999, som svar på teksten, der gjorde den berømt, rejste byen Winslow en bronzestatue og et vægmaleri i naturlig størrelse til minde om sangen, og i 2016 efter Freys bortgang blev en statue af ham i naturlig størrelse føjet til Standin' på Hjørneparken. Så da vi stopper i Winslow til vores frokost, kan vi benytte lejligheden til at tage et billede på denne verdensberømte lokation. I byen er også det sidste Harvey House (La Posada Hotel), designet af Mary Colter, åbnet i 1930. Hotellet lukkede i 1957 og blev brugt af Santa Fe Railway til kontorer. Jernbanen forlod La Posada i 1994 og annoncerede planer om at rive den ned. Det blev købt, restaureret og fungerer nu som hotel. Frokost vil være på La Posada og er inkluderet i dit turgebyr (op til $20 per person).

Incredible site about a meteor hitting earth. What a huge impact. They have a nice visitor center with good information. We enjoyed our visit very much.
Todd did a great job in guiding the tour. The view was great and the restaurant was really interesting. The lunch really exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to enjoyed something other than desert in Arizona.
Awesome!!! Our private tour with Jeremy was so informative and very interesting. I learned about the universe and all of its power. Totally worth the visit! Best tour guide ever…
From the breathtaking views to the exhilarating moments, every part of the tour was made better by the positive energy, deep knowledge and warm personality of our tour guide Todd. Thank you Todd, you rock !
Walnut Canyon and its history were amazing to see and learn. I had long wanted to see Meteor Crater. Both seeing the site of the ancient impact and learning the stories about it since were great.
I went without any expectations and was blown away. This was done so well. Many interactive experiences. I learned a lot about space. I had no idea the largest impact crater in the world was here in Arizona! The music as you walk in was perfect. They have a short movie and a 4 D experience. A place to have a drink as well. I am so glad I went. $29 for adults and $27 for seniors.❤️❤️❤️🌍
This was a private tour - just Todd and my husband and I. Very comfortable vehicle and Todd knew where and when to direct us as our guide without joining our experience. We first got a choice of walking the 1 hour Walnut Canyon or just look from the 3-4 look out points above. We did the walk comfortably although there are a lot of steps. We then went to Meteor Crater and had plenty of time to see the short film and view and photograph the amazing crater. Lastly lunch was at the very historic La Pasado Hotel before “standing on the corner in Winslow Arizona” … as you do!! Highly recommend.
Everything about our 12+hours day was amazing. Todd communicated with us before our trip and picked us up at our hotel on time and in a clean and spacious F150 crew cab. Our first stop was Walnut Canyon. This is a place we would not have know about unless we took this tour. It was beautiful, amazing and historical. Todd knew a lot about the site. Next we went to The Meteor Crater. Another absolutely amazing destination. Todd shared many details about it as well. Lunch was at historical Las Posadas. Very cool having lunch at a Harvey's Restaurant location. Again Todd was very knowledgeable. Snapped pictures and shopped at "THE corner in Winslow Arizona"!!! The entire trip was catered to my husband and me, since it was a private tour. We spent as long as we wanted at every destination and never felt rushed. Todd was a wonderful conversationalist and oh so knowledgeable. He even gave us ideas of places we could go on other days of our trip. And as we loved this tour so much we took his suggestion and was not disappointed! I highly recommend HAT to anyone coming to the Phoenix area. When we come back we will be using HAT again. Thanks again Todd!
All day private tour to Meteor Crater, Walnut Canyon and Winslow. Todd was a great conversationalist, providing great stories and information about sites along the way. Did a circle route from our hotel pick up in Scottsdale; scenery was amazing! Would highly recommend this tour and guide. Fantastic!
The views were awesome Todd was our guide he was great and informative. Had a good lunch at La Posada Hotel which was really good. The crater was great also!
