Visit Four Corners Parents are often asked to be in more than one place at one time to help their kids. Did you know that you can actually be in four places at once in southeast Utah? Four Corners is the only location in the United States where four state boundaries in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah actually touch one another. A person can literally stand or sit in all four states at the same time. There is a monument at the Four Corners site and the four state lines intersect at the disc. Four Corners is governed by six entities, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and the Navajo Nation in Arizona and Ute Tribe of Utah. The Navajo Nation manages the visitor center and monument, which is open year-round and charges a $3 admission fee for all ages. This is a remote location. Teec Nos Pos, Arizona is six miles away and has one gas station.
