HUBBELL TRADING POST NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE, GANADO PETRIFIED FOREST NATIONAL PARK, NEAR HOLBROOK MONUMENT VALLEY NAVAJO TRIBAL PARK, OLJATO-MONUMENT VALLEY Instantly recognizable as an icon of the American Southwest, this dramatic landscape is punctuated by monoliths, mesas and spires. Drive along the 17-mile loop to take in the scenery or book a guided tour for spectacular hiking and photography. METEOR CRATER & BARRINGER SPACE MUSEUM, WINSLOW Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site, Ganado Dating back to 1878, this is the oldest operating trading post on the Navajo Nation. Tour the original 160-acre homestead — which includes the family home, farm animals, outbuildings and a visitor center with history exhibits — and shop handmade Navajo blankets, jewelry, baskets and pottery. Approximately 50,000 years ago, see where a meteor hit the earth, creating a crater a mile across and 550 feet deep. Go on the 45-minute guided rim tour of the crater, then explore the museum to feel the surface of an actual meteorite and to learn about the history and science behind meteors, asteroids, comets and more.
