FORMED BY A HUGE METEOR IMPACT 50,000 YEARS AGO.IT IS A CLASSIC CASE STUDY BECAUSE THERE WERE TWO SC HOOLS OF THOUGHT.METEOR IMPACT OR VOLCANIC CRATER.
SAN FRANCISCO MOUNTAINS NEAR FLAGSTAFF FROM THE CRATER.HUGE BUSHFIRES HAD BEEN RAGING THERE FOR A FEW WEEKS. HUMPHREY'S PEAK THE HIGH POINT IS A COUPLE OF HUNDRED FEET HIGHER THAN MOUNT COOK. TOP HAS ALL THE YEAR ROUND SNOW THOUGH SIGHTED IN A HOT DRY DESERT.
FOR YEARS I TAUGHT USING A SLIDE .I WONDERED WHAT THE OBJECTS AT THE BOTTOM OF CRATER WERE.IT IS THE SITE OF A MINE SHAFT WITH AN OLD BOILER AND MACHINERY. THE GUY WHO CLAIMED IT WAS A METEOR IMPACT WAS CONVINCED THE IRON RICH REMAINS WOULD BE BURIED AND HE WOULD MINE IT AND MAKE HIS FORTUNE. UNFORTUNATELY THE METEOR DISINTEGRATED ON IMPACT PRODUCING THOUSANDS OF SMALL FRAGMENTS.IT IS STILL OWNED BY THE FAMILY AND AT $15 ENTRY THEY PROBABLY HAVE MADE A FORTUNE!!
