Four Corners Monument in Northeast Arizona

The Four Corners Monument marks the spot of the only place in the United States where four states come together in one place. Those states are Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. There is a marker on the exact site where the four state corners come together, making it possible to stand in all four states at the same time. Admission to the monument area is $3 per person.
