Introduction

Four Corners Monument is located in the desert of the American Southwest, the only point in the United States where four states meet at a single location: Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado intersect precisely at one point. This unique geographic location was determined by government survey in 1875 and has become an American geographic wonder. The monument at the center marks the exact intersection point, where visitors can stand in four states simultaneously for photos, making it a fun geographical photo spot. The monument is surrounded by the Navajo Nation reservation, with a strong Native American cultural atmosphere. Numerous craft vendors sell silver jewelry, turquoise accessories, woven goods, and sand paintings. Though in a remote desert, this unique geographic wonder and Native culture make it a classic stop for Southwest road trips.
