Went to the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff where Percival Lowell did pioneering research into space and telescopes. It was here that Pluto was discovered with the telescope pictured. We took 2 tours of the site which was informative and interesting.
We then drove about 40 miles to a massive crater formed when a meteor hit the earth yonks ago. It is 2 miles in circumference and very deep! There was a Visitor Centre and museum attached which we browsed in afterwards. It ialso known as the Berringer Crater after a scientist who conducted research there.
We then drove back through Flagstaff to join Historic Route 66 50 miles away at Williams.
