This is a cool place for a short visit if you are in the area. My wife and I went early, and off-season; we - plus a dozen vendors - were the only ones there. Eight bucks each to stand in Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico at the same time! I imagine this place COULD get packed sometimes, and the central concourse is (literally) surrounded by 64 vendor stands. It might be intimidating? All-in-all, we were 100% glad we called by to stand in and enjoy this unique place.

If this is on your way, it’s worth seeing. The monument itself is very nice. It seems primarily to be a venue for selling Indian handicrafts, but even in the off-season, there was a wide assortment of such. The parking lot is rotted. There’s no landscaping in the restrooms are primitive, but still, it is a landmark. I especially recommend seeing it if you’re in Monument Valley because the drive from there is breathtaking

Unassuming at first but truly beautiful and educational! Highly recommend to stop here on your road trip. It was $8 per person (card only) I went in January on a Tuesday around 9-10am. There was no line for photos. Since it was the off season, many vendors were not there and the food trucks were not open, but it was still 100% worth it. I was able to get a beautiful hand crafted souvenir Christmas ornament. Additionally the vendor gave us a little extra history/facts about the area. He was very kind and I’m happy to support a local, Native business.

This has been on my bucket list for a few years now. Finally got to visit and it was definitely very cool. We unfortunately were there on a very cold and windy day so that kind of took away from the experience but non the less we still enjoyed the trip and got to learn some new things. Not a lot of venders open, probably because of the cold but still got some souvenirs. You definitely should visit here and then take the road into Colorado and go into Utah and drive along that route through Bluff and then into Monument Valley. It was a nice drive

We were on vacation from Wisconsin. And took a day trip here from durango. The area is very interesting. Rock formations. Monuments. It is a desolate area. We bought hand made items from Navajo crafter. We did enjoy our visit. It was 8.00 pp. We had fun Taking pictures by state signs

It's doesn't look like much when you drive up, but the inside is nice. Super fun, especially for kids, as they hop from stayed to state. There are local Navajo and Hopi vendors selling their hand made art, they is very beautiful. I strongly encourage you to support them. It's also just a short drive from Mesa Verde National Park, which should be a must on your places to see list.

Visiting Four Corners Monument has been on my bucket list for years. 🎉 My visit was a dream come true. I was expecting more! Then, I was humbled! The experience was amazing..... totally different from my expectations. When you visit, have an open mind and be ready to learn a piece of history not taught in books. It is a tourist attraction. Some of the tourists can be rude and self centered. There was a long line to take a picture of the intersection of the four corners. Most waited patiently while others thought they were the only family there for the experience. So I say to tourists, have the patience with others capturing their special moment as you would want for yourself. There are vendors on property selling souvenirs, mostly hand made. Most accept cash or card. The park closes at 4:45 p.m. Service animals are allowed. If traveling with pets, they are not allowed past a certain point of entry. There is a small entry fee to support the Navajo Nation. I hope you enjoy your visit as much as we did 💗. Happy travels 🥰☺️🤗

A simple place, but a great bucket list item. It was cold when we went, so there was not many vendors on site. But one vendor showed us pictures of the original plaques and landscape. Definitely add it to your bucket list

About a 45 minutes drive from Cortez, this monument is deep inside Navajo territory. The monument is surrounded by chainlink fence. Turn into a dirt road and approach a small building to purchase your entry as you would at a National park. What you see ahead is a cinderblock wall. A small building down an incline holds pit toilets. The parking lot is dirt. If you have spent any time in the dessert, you know that hard packed, stone filled dirt, turn to mush when it rains. Be prepared for ruts and rocks, or muck, depending on the weather. Handicapped parking spots are available around the monument, but again, you are parking on dirt so the same applies to wheelchairs/walkers as cars. The entire monument is obscured from view by cinderblock walls. Parking against the walls is reserved for vendors who display their wares in booths that line the inside of the monument walls. Guest parking is a bit of a free for all (at our visit) with no signs, or direction all around the building. Just pick a spot and park I guess, except in the handicapped designated areas of course. OK then. Enter the monument at any of the corners where there is a break in the walls. I side are rows of seats in a square around the central monument. Ramps between seat rows elevate you, in each state, for a look down onto the monument. It is sort of fun to be in four geographic states at one time. Vendor wares are on display if you are interested in doing a bit of shopping. The people we encountered were very nice. This is just one of those 'have to do' tourist sites. It's not a blast. It's a monument in the ground. They do have a trail into the dessert. If you hike the dessert, summer or winter, be prepared. The dessert is dangerous any month of the year.

Gimmicky! They charge $8 per person to enter. It's basically a medallion on the ground to take a quick picture and a bunch of vendors selling handmade crafts. The road is not paved, dirt road. Bathrooms are outhouses. The line to take a photo is 30+ minutes. Not worth it!

Audry P.

Yelp
My mom and I have never been to the 4 corners monument, so when we were coming back from Mesa Verde National Park, we decided to swing by on our way to Page Arizona. It's an $8.00 usd per person price to enter, and once you do, you'll park in the gravel parking lot and head into the middle of the monument. Inside, there are several local vendors selling their handmade goods, such as necklaces, bracelets, rings, turquoise, dream weavers, etc... Lovely gifts and wearable jewelry. You're allowed to take 3 pictures per person, especially when it's busy. There's covered and uncovered seating that you can chill in until it's your turn to take pictures, OR you can chill with some Navajo fried bread. Either way, you have a place to chill... Highly recommend checking this place off your bucket list.

You have to go just to say you stood in four States and the Navajo Nation all at once. If and when you go plan on about 15-20 minutes to visit. Thats enough time to get a photo memorializing this feat. There are vendors selling native art and jewelry. At $8 a person for entry they got you. There are no discounts for seniors, military, first responders, teachers or children. The parking lot is in sad shape.

Isaac A.

Yelp
We got here about 20 minutes before they opened, then they opened maybe 20 minutes late. When we got in, it looked like the two cars in front of us were vendors. We got to walk around for 10 or 15 minutes without anyone else and it was great! Once others showed up, we took turns taking photos. I wasn't able to see any of the vendors because they hadn't set up yet. I checked out some of the hiking in the back, but wasn't able to take the kids on a hike. It was a bit pricey for what it was, but we didn't get the full experience so take that for what it's worth.

A little underwhelming in the grand scheme of things, the four corners monument is mostly a tourist trap. However, they do have some real cool indigenous craftsmen and women in the flea market like stalls surrounding the photo op area, and the Navajo tacos sold nearby are fantastic!

This was my first time on the Navajo Nation (Diné) -- and I have wanted to visit since college. So I was thrilled to visit the monument and the region. What a treat to be able to be in Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico AND the Navajo Nation all at once! First order of business: Come with respect. You are on tribal lands governed by a sovereign nation. It is of utmost importance that you follow local customs and rules and take it as your personal responsibility to be well-informed before and during your visit. Also, now where you are going. The Four Corners Monument is in a highly remote, rural area. There are virtually no amenities, save a gas station some miles away. Be sure to gas up and get food if you desire before you get here. Note that there is a spot that sells fry bread and Navajo tacos on site, but it is not always open. I was sad to see it closed on this trip, as I love, love, love fry bread. It's going to be hot during the warmer months and much cooler in the fall and winter. Dress accordingly. The monument is open generally at 8 a.m. throughout the year and closing time fluctuates depending on the season. Be attentive to conditions and holidays, as the monument will be closed on all major holidays and during other times. It costs $8 per person to enter, not per vehicle. And you should bring a card as cash is not accepted. There were a number of vendors on site in booths circling the monument. Most were selling jewelry (often self-made), artwork, clothing and other items. As with any popular tourist spot, you are bound to have lines. And, yes, people were lined up (respectfully, thankfully) to take photos at the center of the monument. There are plenty of areas with shaded seating as well. I hear some people saying to plan 1-2 hours for a visit. It all depends on whether you want to visit with the vendors and take a walk (there is a walking area behind the monument that provides expansive views of the region).

Visiting this spot is one of those bucket list experiences, you have to go at least once to say you've stood in four states at the same time! Admission is $8 per person, which seems fair to help maintain the area. There are also vendors selling unique homemade items, adding a nice touch to the visit. Overall, it was a fun experience, but it's probably not a place we'd return to.

Yelp
Another planned stop along the vacation trip I haven't bumped into too much people that have been here and it is out of the way from anywhere, plenty of souvenirs here all four states are represented mostly Indigenous people art and jewelry, everyone was kind and respectful and there were food trucks for those with an appetite

It's been on my list of places to visit. Came here on a Wednesday in October and it was not busy. Arrived at a little before 2:00. The sun wasn't optimal (shadows and glare) but I got to see it and have proof. It's $8 per person and CREDIT CARD ONLY. No cash since the pandemic

I was passing through the 4 Corners Monument area again now 6 years later since my first visit and figured why not check out this playful roadside stop. 4 Corners Monument is the only place in the United States where you can stand in 4 states simultaneously. They are Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. This place is good for a photo or two and can take 15 - 20 minutes. Comparing 6 years ago to present day, here are differences I noticed... - Back in 2018, entry price was $5, now it's $8, which is still very good value considering the recent rapid rise in inflation. Children 6 years and younger are free. - They accept credit card payments. I believe it's something new considering this off the beaten path landmark has absolutely nothing nearby except for desert landscape. - For picture taking standing in all 4 states, there's a short line you must wait on for your turn. During my visit at 1pm in late September...it only took 5 minutes. - They do ask for 3 pictures maximum per family before allowing others a chance. - Surrounding the monument are little cubicles where natives of the local Navajo Nation sell authentic jewelry and arts and crafts if you'd like a memento. During my first time here, half the booths were occupied. This time around, maybe 1/5th of them had people showcasing their handmade designs. - At your first picture opportunity, you may not capture the ideal moments so you can return back in line and try a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th time. And especially for those who may be vlogging about the 4 Corners, it's hard to do with people unintentionally interfering. For instance, in the background, there may be strangers walking and exploring among the grounds and accidentally "photobombing" your picture moment. Some visitors may not care about people standing in the backdrop, but for me...I had to retake photos until I felt content, lol. - The Monument is open starting at 8am and I believe closes around sunset. - For late September, the heat was brutal. - If you step away from the actual monument, you get a good sense for how primitive the surroundings are. - There was a food stand off to the side of the monument but was closed. - The town of Cortez, Colorado is only 39 miles northeast from here. In total, I still enjoyed another visit to 4 Corners Monument. It's not hard to do. It takes little time. It's not too crowded. And overall, it's a fun tourist attraction that well represents the southwestern part of the USA.

This is a wonderful place to visit. It's the off season for our visit but we still had a wonderful time! The vendors and craft sellers are lovely! A little pricey but they are trying to make a living doing their craft and I was happy to pay. It's just a cool thing to see! $8/per person to get in and children under 6 are free. Loved it!

Four Corners is the only place in the United States where the boundaries of four states meet. Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico are the states that make up Four Corners. The area itself is part of the Colorado Plateau and is located on tribal land. Even though I have passed the road to this monument many times, this was my first visit to Four Corners. I've always been curious about it and finally made a stop on a recent drive to Colorado. The area itself is a rugged rural area with no towns close by. Four Corners is marked by a monument with a bunch of flags. There is an admission price to enter. Inside the monument is a plaza area embedded with a granite disk where you can stand in all four states at once. Other than that, there isn't much else to see or do. There are many vendor booths that surround the plaza area where local Navajo and Ute artisans sell souvenirs and food. There isn't any educational material to read other than a paper map on a window showing how far major cities are from Four Corners. Bathrooms are gross and the parking lot isn't paved. Overall, I felt this monument was a little underwhelming for the price of admission. I would definitely say visit Four Corners Monument at least once in your life for the fun photo. You won't need to come back after that. There is a hiking trail nearby if you want to get a little more of your money's worth and do some exploring of the area.

11/11/24: monument is closed until further notice (another review says the same thing from 5 days ago). Their website didn't have any information about that. I did find a phone number you can call to find out their current hours so you don't drive all the way out there- 928-206-2540. I'd call before driving out there as this is in a very remote area with very little services nearby. If we could have gotten in, I know I'd give this 5 stars. :-)

Fun stop. $8 per person to get in. Nothing to do but take a picture. But hey, where else can you be in four States at the same time!

Anna K.

The monument is closed until further notice. Its 25 miles out of our way. I should e checked their website if there's even one.

Rachel S.

$8 per person to get in. Basically there is a commemorative plaque with the 4 corners, 4 stone signs with information about the 4 states, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. The rest of the place are permanent hawker stalls that sells the same stuff you've seen at every shop on the way to 4 Corners. There are permanent porta potties but nowhere to wash your hands. Luckily I had hand sanitizer on me. After taking your photo, it's a long drive back to wherever you came from, so it feels sort of a letdown that there's not a visitor center or anything for this place. Just an unpaved parking lot and then this monument. Visited: August 2023.

Charleene R.

Yelp
Pretty cool spot to see where 4 states meet. Because it's on an Indian reservation you have to pay $8 per person to enter the area. Along with the "4 corners" there were individual local vendors there with a lot of handmade merchandise.

Nicole R.

Yelp
Very pretty with not too many people around on a Friday. Some vendors with jewelry, fry bread stand, and shaved ice.

Polina W.

Yelp
Well this is underwhelming. It's $8 per person. Kids under certain age are free (mine under 5 were all free). Some people stated they weren't a fan of the vendors located on each state's side...honestly, if you're not interested, this aspect won't bother you or impact your experience. We walked directly to the center of the monument. I guess it's good that it's underwhelming and so far from everything else. It wasn't crowded for us. I can see you having to wait a while if a bus tour stops by and all the passengers need to take pictures. We tried to be courtesy and be quick but even I felt bad that maybe I took too long taking so pictures with my kiddos. Although I tried to be very quick!! Restrooms were out of service so we had to use port a johns. Bummer! Will we be back? Nah. But we can definitely cross this off our bucket list.

This monument is located on Navajo Nation land, and there is an admissions fee per person. There is some notable history and trivia at this location, and the monument itself is well done. Of course, when you come here, you just HAVE to have your picture taken at the intersection of four states. I cranked out some push-ups because that called to me, plus I had New Mexico food to prepare for.

Kate T.

Yelp
Important facts about this site: 1) it opens at 8am, but closing time appears to be seasonal (it's 7:45pm in June of 2023) 2) since the Navajo nation observes DST, use New Mexico time NOT Arizona time to make sure you'll be there when it's open 3) vendors aren't allowed in until 8am either, and at least when we went, not a single vendor was selling by 8:30. Most weren't even on site yet. 4) there can be LONG lines to stand on The Spot (but not at 8am, then it's just you and the vendors setting up) 5) the entry fee is $8 _per person_ over age 6 6) parking is a ****show, no marked spots except a few handicapped spots by the entrance and the vendor spots behind the buildings. Everything else is unmarked gravel. 7) the bathrooms are pretty gross. Just four pit toilets and a few porta potties. At least one of the pit toilets had no lock. In all I think this is a cool place to visit once in your life. It's about an hour away from Mesa Verde, so if you're doing a Grand Circle adventure it's not far out of your way. If you want short/no lines and no souvenirs, get there early. If you want a chaotic zoo of humanity, get there midday. I'm guessing the vendors have to be gone by closing, so they probably shut their shops an hour or so before the gates close.

Jenny A.

Yelp
This is a super fun stop that you should do one time. Fun to be in four states at one time and then shop at all the vendor booths! My advice is to come early! We didn't have to wait in line to get in or to take pictures. As we were leaving, the line to get in was quite long.

We finally had the opportunity to visit this location while on VACA last week. It's anytime say that we were in 4 states at once while it was snowing. There was even free range cattle on the land. It was pretty cool to see so many of the locals setting up in each of the cubby spots set around to sell local hand Made jewelry or or other handmade products. The only hiccup was having to walk through mud to get to the restroom. There is a park fee per person in the vehicle to enter. Around $8 each. A monument worth seeing

I would love to give this attraction a much better rating, but it has its share of negatives. Let me just say, as I'm sure everyone knows by now: this is the only place in the U.S. where four states meet at one corner! The novelty of it never wore off as even 20 minutes later I was still stoked to be there. I was there a month ago and that was the 3rd time in my life I've been there (first was back in the 80s and second was 21 years ago) so it was great to make a return. The only thing different I noticed (from what I remember) was now on each state there are buildings that house craft booths. That kind of takes the fun away, but I understand that people in the Navajo Nation do this for a living. Some actually sell great souvenirs, in addition to Native American stuff like beads, clothes, etc. Cost is $5 (I think per car but not sure), but it was all good. None of the food truck vendors were open during my visit but there were a few crafters present. It was sorta crowded that day but not really - I was surprised to see kids out that day on a Thursday around noon (I guess more kids are being home-schooled than I think?!). There was a line to get your photos taken at the actual four corners disc. Think I had to wait at least ten minutes but the line moved fast. It's best to let people enjoy their experience at this place, so I didn't really complain. There are signs that limit 3 pictures, and seriously - who's really gonna follow that? But I made the most of that brief moment, as I did what most people do and that's put my hand/fingers in all four states. So about the negatives: first there's the parking lot. It's a dirt parking lot with no spaces painted, and it was very uneven. Lots of potholes, like it wasn't well kept. I don't recall seeing any basic restrooms, but I saw a lot of port-o-john's all over. No handwashing stations that I remember. Also, there's the controversy on the accuracy of the actual spot where the four states meet. Several people have said that the plaque/disc should be moved, and I agree. The disc (that shows the four corners) was placed there in 1992, and hasn't budged since. That's almost 30 years to the day I write this review. I remember learning in geography class that places move one inch each year, or something like that. Also, if you look up the place on Google Maps and use the "Satellite" feature, that may help question how accurate the spot is. Just saying.... So....yeah, I'll still give this four stars. It's very neat and I know nothing can be perfect. I get it that people will say it is not worth the drive (the drive from Shiprock, NM seemed to take forever), or at least to go all the way there. But, it depends on one's tastes - be it for roadside attractions or just plain geography nerds. I, for one, would recommend. Just don't expect too much. Plan on at least a half hour or 45 minutes here.

Carol K.

This was a place I had heard about growing up. Four states that bordered each other and my imagination made it into a huge monument and I couldn't wait to get there. During our drive there, I decided to research it and was surprised at what I found. First, it's actually on Indian land and therefore not the big huge monument that I had imaged. There is just a dirt road leading the way. And very basic infrastructure. Second, there is a charge per person not per vehicle like most 'parks' like this. I know that the money goes to maintain the monument and grounds, but then I felt there should be something more. Third, there are very basic services, no food or drink, there were venders but at the time we came everything was empty. And the restrooms were basically portable, a hole in the ground with no way to wash your hands. As I made my way to the center of an 'amphitheater' type setting, stopping along the way to read the history documented with a plague, I was aware of a sense of disappointment as what I imaged to be some great and excited place was turning out to be just a medallion placed in the center were four states met. I don't know what I expected to see but my childhood imagination let me down. It was on my bucket list and I can now check it off but my childhood imagination of the wild four corners surrounded by cliffs and red rocks will remain just that, my imagination!

The monument is okay, but the food is really really bad. We got the Navajo tacos, it has anything but taste. The shopping center is mostly empty. This can be a bustling center if they care to develop and invite people there.

Lindsay M.

Yelp
Look, we all know that state boundary lines are imaginary. At least, I think we all know that. BUT. Being in 4 places at once is actually a really adorable gimmick, a callback roadside attraction. The vendors were no longer vending around the 4 corners, which I imagine is due to Covid (I hope they come back!) but even without, you are in a lovely desert locale. Those who think paying the Navajo Nation $8/person entrance fee to explore a bit of their land is expensive, might want to consider how much money they spend at a Starbucks to get an underwhelming cup of coffee or burnt espresso drink.

D. G.

Yelp
Although this place seems like a cool place to visit, plan your trip accordingly. What a scam. The monument is located on Indian land and they control access to it. $8.00 per person isn't bad, (no cash!) but compared to years ago, this place has gone to crap. The day of all the booths with souvenirs and trinkets is gone. Everything is boarded up and it looks desolate. The monument itself hasn't changed, however don't bring your pup for that iconic picture. Dogs non grata in a huge way. The reservation police gave us the stink eye the entire time we had our dogs outside the rv. And the parking lot more resembled an off-road course. For an outside venue, masks are still required! Really? This place used to be fun, no more.

One teen stood in Arizona, The other in Colorado, Their mother in New Mexico, I stood in Utah. Great place, great history. All surrounded by locals selling tee shirts , jewelry and other tourist trap like items. I woulden't have it any other way

Sheila F.

Yelp
Another tourist trap. They charge $8 per person. You can see the plaque in about 2 minutes. You're done in 5 minutes. There are lots of vendors selling the same crap you can get at any souvenir shop. Don't waste your money

John D.

Yelp
This poor monument is not kept up by the reservation. The bathrooms are unbearable and disgusting. They charge $8 per person just to take a picture. There's no cement walkway from the parking lot to the monument so if it rains then you are walking in thick mud that will take off your shoes. Our car got stuck in the muddy parking lot. It's disappointingly ran but you obviously have to stop if driving by. What a cool place to stand in!

Andrea O.

Yelp
We decided to stop at the Four Corners monument on our way from Canyon de Chelly to Mesa Verde. It's an interesting spot, apparently the only place in the US were 4 states border each other. I wouldn't probably make the trip to just see this, but if you're traveling across parks and can stomach a small detour, then this is worth a visit. The parking lot is just dirt, with no signage, entrance is 5$/person, and the monument is circled by vendors who sell jewelry and stuff.

Rick P.

Yelp
Not much to do here but how many places can you go where you'll be in four states at once!? Pro tip: Show up early and during the week to avoid crowds. Also use the bathroom before hand as the one on site is not cleaned.... at all.... gross.

Atul S.

Yelp
Very small place. 15-20 mins required visit becomes 45 min due to the queue to take photos at the central location. Although you can always take pics from other 3 ends which is what we did to save time. So many tribal vendors. 3-4 stalls for food. But the management is worst. They had disposable toilet but it was so dirty like they have never cleaned since many years. If crowd is coming and paying $5 per person for entry then I think they atleast deserve clean restrooms arrangement. It's tribal parks but it doesn't means we should experience toilet like old times.

Steve K.

Yelp
I have always wanted to see 4 Corners. Since I live in one of the participating states it shouldn't have taken as long as it did to get there. Let's just say it's more than 50 years. The parking is dirt and rocks which almost made me not enter at all. I am very finicky that way depending on the car I am driving at the time. But we slowly ventured in. Once parked away from the others the monument is nicely done. The outer perimeter is lined with booths where local artists have all kinds of treasures to ogle and purchase for souvenirs. It is the only place in the USA where you can be in 4 different states at the same time. It makes for a great bragging rights story. I wouldn't go there as my main destination, but if you are in the area it is a fun place to stop and take a unique selfie.

Brittany K.

What a cool place. This is your opportunity to visit four places at once! Where else can you do that? It costs $5 per visitor and there seems to be plenty of parking available. We did arrive early which I understand is for the best as it gets busier and sometimes crowded as the day goes on. If it's busy you are limited to three posed pictures on the monument. We were able to take our time this morning when the park opened at 8:00am. Those native to the tribal grounds sell their goods vendor style onsite as well. The artistry was really beautiful and it was fun to visit each booth while at the monument. If you take some pictures and visit the vendors, expect to spend between 15 and 30 minutes. Also, there are onsite restrooms but let me tell you, this will not be your first choice. Go before you arrive if possible. All in all, it's a cool place to visit. Make sure to check the hours before you arrive as I understand they do vary. Enjoy your visit!

Such a tourist trap. I mean its cool to be able to take your picture with a body party in each of the four states but there is really nothing else to do here. It definitely trapped me on the way to Colorado a few years ago. Theres random jewlerly, postcards, and indian bread being sold but thats pretty much all besides the 4 corners center. Do not go out of your way to make a trip here. I reccomend if passing thru. Also, check out best times to go to avoid waiting to take your pictures. I went very early on a holiday weekend and got lucky that I didnt have to wait too long.

Come once but not twice! Where else can you touch all four states at the same time? It was one hour detour for us and despite of misplacement controversy for the actual border but I am glad we did and experienced once. Entrance is $5 each. It's a part of the Navajo Nation. They have outhouse available, no flushing water... Besides the monument, they really don't have much. Several Indian theme goods sold by native Americans. That's pretty much it. In fact, We came, we touched all four states at the same time, took some pictures, that was it but I am glad we made a stop. I won't be back but I have pictures to show I was here.

I spent money in worse ways but not many. Pretty terrible stop. Don't buy anything else as it is all ridiculously over priced and or terrible. This was not even worth the "life point".

Call me cheesy or whatever you want to call it but have you guys ever watched "A walk to remember" they have a cheesy moment where Landon takes Jaime to a state line and tells her to place her feet in certain spots and asks "have you ever been in 2 places at once?" ..."well now you have." I wanted to out do that and do 4 places at once! Haha! It's sad and unfortunate but it's the gesture that counts. For my birthday, my BF drove me all the way over here (we live in Vegas, 7hr drive) because he knew I wanted to do a road trip and knock this off my list! I am truly sad but not mad about this. I looked up the hours and said open! My fault for assuming without calling (I was excite!) but it's the gesture that I appreciate even most! It's definitely scratched off the list and will be remembered! We'll be making more stops on the way back home to finish my Birthday Weekend!

I've visited this place before as a youngster. I brought my daughter back for a visit. Parking is dirt lot (use to this as I grew up on the reservation) and the restrooms are portable (also use to this) so no complaints there. I always look forward to the vendors as they always have beautiful work and prices are very reasonable. There were people there and we were all respectful of boundaries and social distancing. Price is $5 per person and I called the number beforehand to get hours and prices. During this pandemic I now carry hand sanitizer but always always carried necessities in my car so I am prepared for no water or electric (grew up in the Rez) . I recommend this to anyone who are considering.

Always wanted to visit the 4 corners. Especially I remember when my mom was watching a movie and some guys were at the 4 corners and cops surrounded them in each state. They were planing their escape. It's nice to go once but don't think I will drive all the way up here just to see it. There's a line to take pictures. I can't believe you have to pay $5 per person just to visit this place, especially there isn't much to do. There is some vendors selling stuff & food selling fried bread. There's toilets but like an outhouse type.

Don't go unless you want to be all alone and see what "nothing" looks like. The sky is blue and "wide" enough to see all the way to tomorrow.

Super cool place to visit! The monument is clean and has a lot of local vendors set up selling beautiful hand made souvenirs. Definitely worth a check off the bucket list!

Four Corners Memorial is a place we have heard so much about. We always assumed it was something National but we now know it is operated by the Navajo Nation. Here Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah meet. This was a good detour for us since we started our day in New Mexico and ended it in Colorado. It is also a good place to experience some Native American culture because they have vendors surrounding the location where the states meet. They sell arrows, paintings, and jewelry. You can talk to locals which was my favorite part of this experience. Near the parking lot you can find local food. To take pictures with the four corners monument you need to move quick. There is a sign which says 3 photos only. This is mostly to keep the lines from becoming too large. But the lines aren't that long. We kept taking a few pictures and getting back in line.

Save your time! And money. $8 per PERSON to enter. It is just a symbol on the ground that isn't even a great photo moment. Luckily, we went when it was low tourist season, but outside of this one point, there is nothing but some local stalls. There was not any food available or drinks. The local goods are nice ranging from pottery to elk skinned knives, but nothing says 'New Mexico' or any other state on it. Most didn't even say Four Corners. On the other hand, you can ask them to make something for you and they will ship it.

Hot and dusty, a long drive from Durango but was worth a good laugh. There is nothing here but some crafts and folk art stalls selling their wares. Lots of great photo opportunities and it's only $5 a person. 90 mins each way from Durango, there are better things to do if you are on a tight schedule. If you have an extra day, do it.

Do you know what it feels like to stand in 4 states at the same time? Same feeling as standing in one state, but lighter since you've got less money. This monument is out in the middle of nowhere and cost $5 to enter per person. You park, and then you walk over to a bunch of people that are surrounding the 4 corners circle. There are multiple point of entries, so you'll have to look around and remember your place in line, although there is no line. Then when you think it's your turn, dash onto the circle and take as many pictures as possible and leave. ....| \ _ , , , - - , , _ , .../ , ` . - ' ` ' . _ \ - ; ; ; , _ ..| , a - ) ) _ . ; .
