Teec Nos Pos, AZ
Stand in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah at once. Navajo artisans sell crafts around the plaza.
Four Corners Monument near Teec Nos Pos (Arizona) is the only point in the United States where four states meet: Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. The Navajo Nation runs the Four Corners Monument Navajo Tribal Park here. The spot has been marked since 1875; today granite and bronze carry the inscription “Here meet in freedom under God four states.” According to the U.S. survey agency, the marker lies about 1,800 ft (550 m) east of the spot Congress intended in 1863, but it remains legally valid.
Navajo vendors around the plaza sell jewelry and traditional foods such as fry bread. About half an hour is enough for a photo and a walk around. The monument lies about 40 miles (64 km) southwest of Cortez (Colorado); a trading post roughly 6.5 miles (10 km) away sells groceries and fuel.
Important (as of October 2026): the monument is closed because of flooding along the San Juan River; the Navajo parks department extended the closure on October 25, and no reopening date is known. Check the current status with Navajo Nation Parks before you drive out. Admission and hours change with the season.
