The crater has been named the Barringer Crater in honor of Daniel Barringer, who was first to suggest that it was produced by meteorite impact. It is also referred to simply as Meteor Crater. The crater is located approximately 69 km east of Flagstaff, near Winslow in the northern Arizona desert of the United States.
There are several miles of the old route either side of the Meteor Crater exit (number 233) though no Indian store, instead the Barringer family operate a 71-site RV park, next to a pricey gas station just south of the interstate.
