The exact location of the four states' intersection was first surveyed in 1868. The initial marker, a simple cement pad, was placed in 1912. It was completely rebuilt in 1992 and renovated again in 2010 to feature the beautiful granite and brass design you see today, honoring the boundary between the states and the sovereign Native American governments.

Real experiences from real travelers
Booking a guided tour of the region through this platform made visiting this remote spot so easy. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the Navajo Nation and the surrounding landscape.
It was so fun to stand in four states at once! The vendor stalls were wonderful. I definitely recommend bringing plenty of water as it gets very hot out there in the desert.
The booking process was seamless, and the local Navajo vendors added so much value. Buying authentic turquoise jewelry right at the monument was a highlight of my Southwest road trip.
We almost skipped this but booked a day trip that included it. It was incredibly well organized. Standing on the brass marker is cheesy but absolutely essential!
The $8 entry fee is very reasonable. Make sure to bring your credit card as they don't take cash. The partner tour operator was fantastic and handled all the logistics flawlessly.
The drive through the Navajo Nation to get here is stunning. I appreciated the clear instructions provided before we arrived, as cell service drops off near the monument.
We loved the history of how the borders were drawn. The platform helped us find a tour that combined Four Corners with Monument Valley. Perfectly organized!
Be prepared for the summer heat! The vendors sell amazing fry bread. Booking via the recommended partner site gave us peace of mind for our desert excursion.
