From the Four Corners Monument Navajo Tribal Park website:
"The Four Corners Monument is the only place where four states meet, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah. Upon your arrival at the Four Corners there is a newly created vendor market, a place where you can purchase native artwork directly from the artisan. The monument is located in a rural area where there is no accommodations and services are limited. The closest market/gas station is located within 30 miles of the monument. While traveling here please plan accordingly, and make sure to have adequate outdoor attire and water, as there is no water or electricity at this particular park location. Please be prepared for inclement weather and long wait times. Keep hydrated and have enough fuel in your vehicle. These areas get very hot during the summer time and cooler during the fall. The Southwest climate is very unpredictable. Entry Fee can be paid upon arrival. $5 per person. We don’t accept National Park Passes."

From the Colorado website:
"Travel to the southwestern-most point in Colorado and you’ll reach the Four Corners Monument, an intersection with the three surrounding states’ borders. The original marker was placed in 1912, and these days a bronze disk embedded in granite identifies the only spot in the U.S. where you can stand in four states at once. Aside from the requisite photo op, pay a visit to the Demonstration Center for jewelry, crafts and food made by Navajo artisans.
Getting to the Four Corners Monument
Arriving by car or RV, the landmark is approximately 45 minutes from Cortez via U.S. Hwy. 160; the drive from Denver to Cortez is roughly seven hours on U.S. Hwys. 285 and 160. If you cross into Colorado from the south on Hwy. 160, you’ll be greeted by one of the rustic-looking “Welcome to Colorful Colorado” signs, which are popular for snapshots."
