Four Corners Monument & Park – Cortez, CO | Hiking Trail & Native American Crafts

Four Corners Monument is the only place where four states border each other: Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. It’s located on the Navajo Indian Reservation, about forty-give minutes southwest of Cortez.

Inside the boundaries is an Indian Market with various booths, selling everything from hand-made jewelry to tomahawks. There’s also a small visitor center and portable toilets. A small fee is collected for accessing the monument, which is open every day of the year.

It’s situated in a remote part of the Southwest with not too much around, except high-altitude desert. There is a single hiking trail, Dancin’ Horse Trail, which takes about thirty minutes to complete and overlooks Sleeping Ute Mountain.
