Meteor Valley is a section along the canyon of the Colorado River from the Glen Canyon Dam at Lake Powell to the confluence of the Little Colorado River. The Grand Canyon officially begins below this confluence. The key location in Meteor Valley is the world’s best preserved meteorite impact site on Earth. Located just minutes from the Interstate in Northern Arizona, Meteor Crater is the breath-taking result of a collision between an asteroid traveling 26,000 miles per hour and planet Earth approximately 50,000 years ago.
