    That’s Meteor Crater in Northern Arizona. By the direction you’re flying I would say that you were on your way to San Fran, Salt Lake or somewhere in the NW. Out the right side of the plane about 100 miles farther north is Canyon de Chelly. You know, the scenery from the Coyote/Roadrunner cartoon.
