Four Corners

Four Corners je místo střetu čtyř Amerických států: Colorado, Utah, New Mexico a Arizona and the high desert plateau region surrounding that point in the southwestern United States. Je jediným místem v USA, kde se setkávají hranice čtyř států. Three of the four state corners are on the Navajo Indian Reservation. The fourth corner, Colorado, is on the Ute Mountain Indian Reservation.

Four Corners Monument (located at the site) charges a per-person admission fee. US Highway 160 runs nearby, and New Mexico State Road 597 serves as access road to the monument.

Because the Four Corners is part of a high Colorado Plateau, it is often a center for weather systems, which stabilize on the plateau then proceed eastward toward the central and mountain states. This weather system creates snow and rainfall over the central United States.
