Fun fact: The Park operators get so few visitors who actually pay to see it that they genuinely get excited when someone does pay for the tour. The park is in the middle of a barren desert.

That’s actually sad. Makes me want to go just so they can have their happy time.

I used to drive between Denver and Phoenix a bunch and decided to stop in one time. They charge $29 just to see it, and put a fence around the entire crater so you can't look at the hole unless you pay them.
