Panoramic Photo of the Barringer Impact Crater: We’ve made it to the southwest corner of Barringer Crater. In the Photo A below, the large blocks in the foreground and the hummocky hills beyond are all part of the ejecta blanket. The ruins on the right of the photo are the remains of an old school house. In Photo B above and below, if you look closely you can see the visitor center where we started from, and the Caretaker Trail, which we’ll be taking to get down inside the crater.
