Meteor Crater!

Massive hole in the ground, the scale is very hard to capture. That white area is one of several mining areas, a person standing down there would be about 3 pixels tall on the biggest version. The crater is nearly a mile wide and over 500' deep, all on private land with a fabulously cheesy low power AM radio advertisement reaching the highway. Worth the money to see and they have a large fragment from the original meteor on display which you can touch.
