“Here Meet in Freedom Under God Four States”

The Monument bears the above inscription with two words located in each state. It also allows visitors the unique experience of being in four states at the same time. This is a great place for a one-of-a-kind selfie! Surrounding the monument, visitors are able to sample traditional foods and handicrafts created by the local Navajo and Ute residents.

Teec Nos Pos Trading Post

A 10-minute drive south of the Four Corners Monument is the small Navajo community of Teec Pos Nos which features an old-time general store. This is a good place to buy high-quality hand-woven rugs, jewelry and other native handicrafts while gassing up your car and grabbing a snack.
