Where the 4 states meet? It looks like something neat to do. I bet my kids would get a kick out if standing in 4 states at once. Is there anything else to do around there?
Thanks!

Not much else at all to do around there. Its vast nothingness, which is why I found the area attractive. Go in early summer if you can.

Well, you get to take a picture like this.



Otherwise, there isn't a whole lot else to do there.

I wouldn't go there as a specific destination. But it makes a nice side trip to see en-route to somewhere else.

Nice scenery, sfw . . . otherwise, LOTS OF NOTHING.

I would recommend The Canyon and/or Hoover Dam first.

It's not worth a special trip, but it's an interesting stop if you are on your way to Colorado.

Default Four Corners "Region"

Mesa Verde in Colorado is fascinating and spectacular, and beautiful Canyon de Chelly and Monument Valley in Arizona are not that far away.

The 4 corners is more or less a like a rest stop area on your way to a scenic attraction. When you arrive at the 4 corners, just off the main road, you'll stop at a kiosk and pay a real indian some wampum to go to the attraction. There you'll see some indians pedaling their wares in a circular parking area. In the center is the 4 corners monument. You stand with your 2 feet and 2 arms/hands bent over touching all 4 states. Then you say "wow, is that all there is" and head back out to either Cortez, Mesa Verde, Durango which is a very scenic drive, or you go the other direction to Monument Valley/Canyon de Chelly which is a very colorful scenic area and worth the drive.
