"The Four Corners Monument is a unique place where four states intersect: Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. The Navajo Nation Parks & Recreation welcomes all those who want to be at four places at once. Although it may be a little hard to be in all states at once, we welcome those travelers to come to visit the Four Corners Monument." ~ Navajo Nation Parks & Recreation
Four Corners is the only spot in the United States shared by four states. Managed by the Navajo Nation, this unique point connects the states of Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and Colorado. The monument also marks the boundary between the Navajo Nation and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe Reservation. The surrounding area is known as the Four Corners Region increasingly known for its unique style.
The Navajo government placed a bronze disk at the Four Corners meeting point in 1931. With two words occupying each state, the disk reads, “Four states here meet in freedom under God.” In the 1960s, the Navajo Nation assumed custody of the monument. The monument has seen two renovations – rebuilt in 1992, and again in 2010.
The Four Corners Monument is open year round and hosts a small Demonstration Center featuring traditional, handmade Native jewelry, artesian crafts, and authentic tribal food. Navajo (or Dine), and Ute tribes populate the Four Corners region. Craftsmen and artists from both nations are represented at the monument.
