About Four Corners Monument
The Four Corners Monument marks the only point in the United States where the boundaries of four states meet: Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. It is on Navajo Nation land, near Ute Mountain Ute tribal lands, on a desert plain about 65 km from Cortez.
At the center, a granite and bronze disk marks the meeting point, and visitors often pose with a hand or foot in each state. Around it, panels display the flags and information about the states and the Navajo and Ute peoples, and Navajo artisans sell jewelry, pottery, and food from booths.
The monument is managed by the Navajo Nation Parks Department, which charges an entrance fee.
