There is a large crater near Winslow Arizona. It's a National Monument.
Should be on any street atlas of Arizona. A street atlas of the USA is a great map to carry btw. There used to be a charted airport not far from Page, I think at Cliff Dwellers, right down IN the canyon. Check it out, may not be there any more. gt wrote: Planning a trip to Page, AZ in early Oct. in a C-172.

Be sure and make a stop at Marble Canyon, http://www.airnav.com/airport/L41 I haven't been there for a year or two, but it's an interesting little strip, good restaurant, and beautiful scenery. Mike

That would be Marble Canyon, and it is not "down IN the canyon" if you are referring to the Grand Canyon. Some people seem to have that misconception, perhaps because the Vermilion Cliffs are just off to the north (more or less), giving the appearance of being "in the canyon."
