I recently visited the Meteor Crater in Arizona. It was interesting to peer inside the massive crater and fathom that magnitude of the explosion that must have rocked this region. Located about 45 miles east of Flagstaff, it has a blast diameter of approximately 4000 feet. The crater was created about 50,000 years ago. Please keep in mind you will have to pay a moderate fee to access the museum and viewpoints - well worth the visit!
