Entry:
Canyon de Chelly was farther than I thought, (after Walnut Canyon, Meteor Crater, and the Petrified Forest) so I opted to make some miles and crash in Truth and Consequences (actually I just liked the name).

Walnut Canyon National Monument is very cool. It was uncrowded, interesting, and beautiful.

Meteor Crater was silly, expensive, and impressive. All in all I'd say save the $8 and skip the drive.

The Petrified Forest is a must see. It's easy to imagine you are on a completely different planet.
