Bobbo, thank you very much for your report! 
For me it's a bit far from Europe, but I believe that it is very impressive view. It is because the crater is quite young and not too much eroded since its formation some 50 000 years ago.
The history of Canyon Diablo Crater is interesting. Mining engineer Baringer received from President T. Roosevelt land patent and expected 100 million tons of meteoritic iron. He drilled several deep boreholes, but has not found any significant deposit. Current estimate of the meteorite mass is only circa 300 000 tons from which most vaporized on impact.
