Four Corners Monument

Navajo Tribal Park

Four Corners is the only place in the US where four states (Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah) meet. It wasn't always here, back when measuring via survey wasn't as accurate as it was today, the monument was in a different spot. If I'm ever back there, I'm going to take my GPS with me and check. I was there in 1997 and 2008.

The monument itself is in a Navajo Tribal Park, which means there an entrance fee to get into the place, but it's a small price to pay for one of the ultimate stupid tourist photos. (I mean that in an affectionate way...)

Also there are booths upon booths of tribal members hawking their wares, some of which is pretty interesting, and some of it is dreck. But hey, some people like dreck. Try the fry bread. It's pretty good...

The images I have of the Navajo Indian Reservation (other than the Tribal Parks I've visited) are mostly along US-89 and US-89A, from Marble Canyon/Navajo Bridge and Page, Arizona through Antelope Pass to Grand Canyon.

There are also images along US-160 from Four Corners to US-89.

I drove US-160 from I-25 to the Four Corners. It's a nice drive, with several major attractions along the way, such as Great Sand Dunes and Mesa Verde National Parks, and a place you can stand on four states at one time.

This page only has images from Colorado.
