Four Corners Monument: Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona

Four Corners Monument is located in the Navajo Tribal Parks system and is the only location within the United States in which one can stand in four states at one time: Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona.  Despite the fact that little else is located at the site other than the point and some interpretive plaques, when approaching close to the famous junction of the four states, it is an obligatory stop.

Below we are standing at the site of the famous junction.

And Sueshan places an extremity in each state...

The flags of each US state; New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado, and Navajo nation occupy each quadrant.  The buildings surrounding the monument are shelters in which natives are selling jewelry, handmade arrows, tee shirts, and the like.

The interpretive plaques below explain some of the survey work over the past century and a half that has determined the location of the point.
