    Largest recovered remnant from the impact
    Chris B.

    Such a great place to encounter. They have a theatre to enlighten you to how the crater was formed. They have a fun simulator to try. Short walk along the rim with a guide who was very in formative. I'd suggest a visit to those who are curious.... Or not.

    Dynamic music and build up to the tour!

    No smelly women's room at all. Very clean inside and out! Very accessible for handicapped and the huge rock sculpture of nature, lends itself to an atmosphere where one gets excited about the Tour of this Crater. Handicapped elder $27.00. A restroom to the left of the ticket purchase window. I got permission to photograph the what's available area, however I won't be touring without my deceased Assistance Dog, Tucker, who passed away at age 17. My videos and photos will show you the place. Military & Elders get a discount.

    Very nice Roadside rest. I liked the fact that they had hot water in restroom. The mens restroom was fairly clean, but in need of a touch up.

    Women Rest Room

    Women's room had no waiting, hot water & soap, and hot air blowers for hands AND face. Outside, vending machines were behind bars. Don't know if they worked. Liked the rock formations, and picnic areas. Very nice!

    Scenic view

    Perfect for photo shoots.. Good place to stretch your legs walk around get some great pics

    The crater! Words can't give this a proper size, it's huge!

    What kind of explain how huge this amazing phenomenon looks. Because the meteor was made of iron and infected the ground and became rest over the years. The museums are very interesting and the staff is so nice.

    See all

    For a public rest area it was very nice. Clean and stocked with toilet paper. The picnic area is covered and a massive dog run area.

    The restrooms were well lit and clean. Would definitely nap there again if traveling through.

    Easy parking, nice views, clean toilets, vending machines, nice dog area. Pretty good as far as rest stops go. Be aware of the wildlife.

    Navajo Blue Travel Plaza - Pinon Nut Rootbeer

    Navajo Blue Travel Plaza

    (31 reviews)

    $$

    We weren't originally planning on visiting Navajo Blue Travel Plaza, but after seeing bottles of…read moreNavajo Fizz soda at some shops around the Navajo Nation, we saw the main bottling location was at Navajo Blue! Of course we had to give it a visit on our way out of Flagstaff. Blue Corn Mush ($5) - This is pretty smooth, blended well similar to fine grits in texture. The flavor is totally different with a slight bitterness and a ton of corn flavor that's quite a bit different from typical sweetcorn. There's a certain savory quality that I wouldn't quite call smoky, I wonder if it's from the juniper ash? The mush isn't seasoned at all, so just the light natural flavors shine. Navajo Fizz 12oz Bottle ($2.49 each or 4 for $9.69) - We tried four of the flavors Pinon Root Beer - This has a rather medicinal root flavor, although different from typical root beer. There's a harsher root flavor that goes up the nose. It has a pretty pleasing sweetness level from cane sugar; I'm surprise they manage to get it so sweet with only 15g listed in the ingredients (to be honest, I think the label is lying given that the other sodas have way more sugar). There's a good light fizzy level, a gentle fizz, not harsh. I wouldn't say that the drink is a very strong pine nutty in flavor. It is a rather unique root beer flavor; I don't normally like root beer, but I really enjoyed this one. Greenthread Tea - Hmm not sure I like this one too much. It tastes kind of like those lemon honey flavored cough drops with a slight earthy flavor that comes later. I'd love to get some greenthread by itself to try out what it actually tastes like. Edit: A couple of days later I picked up some greenthread tea from a flea market vendor. It tastes kind of like chamomile with a hint of mint, so not really this soda flavor profile. Sumac Berries Strawberry - Woah, this one is really good. It actually tastes like fresh strawberry, with all the complex aromas and flavors, not the flat artificial strawberry taste. I'm really impressed with it. It's the best strawberry soda I've ever had. I'm not really sure what sumac berries taste like though! Peaches & Cream - Another amazing soda, this time a fresh peach juice flavor with cream added. It's like drinking carbonated peach juice. I normally don't like grape flavored soda since it usually tastes so artificial, but considering how good the fruit sodas are here, I regret not buying that flavor as well. Heck, I should have bought a ton more soda of every variety to tide us over the next 2 weeks of our trip! It's really some excellent soda. Unfortunately, none of the other shops in the Navajo Nation I visited afterwards stocked Navajo Fizz! The travel plaza also sells all sort of Navajo cuisine staples. Stuff like roasted blue/yellow/white cornmeal, juniper ash, greenthread tea, steam corn, frybread mix, etc. As we found out later, it's actually cheaper here than many of the Bashas' Dine' grocery stores in the Navajo Nation. Navajo Blue Travel Plaza has instantly become a must stop destination anytime I'm in the area again. The sodas are just so good, and the Navajo food they sell seems to be pretty great as well!

    This place was clean and had a variety of great snacks. We opted for healthier stuff... mini…read morepackage of olives, fruit, string cheese... There wasn't much so much to choose from, including blue corn mush and blue corn cookies. There were hot items ready for the breakfast crowd. There were chachkis, too. Staff were helpful.
