Lay on the Four Corners (4 States at Once)

“When we were almost there, we noticed that a big thunderstorm was beginning to form in our path. We pulled up to Four Corners right around 5:00 and paid $15 entry fee. Most of the vendors were hurriedly packing up due to suddenly strong winds and the ominous skies above. Luckily, because of the time and the rapidly approaching storm, there was not a big crowd. We only had to wait for one other group to take their pictures before we had our turn. Everyone took a turn at being in four states at once, photos were snapped, and we RAN back to the car. Seconds later, the huge thunderstorm hit.”

“So after Mesa Verde we headed to the state lines. We were hungry but wanted to get there before sundown, so trail mix and beef jerky were our sustenance as we rushed off to our destination. It was a good thing we did too, because the place closes at 5!! We pulled in at 4:45, I'm still amazed we made it in time. This is like a total road time stopping point and they close?? I was not expecting that. But we made it, and we had the place to ourselves. So we took our pictures then were rushed off the grounds by workers wanting to go home.”

“From what I had heard of Four Corners from others, it was definitely far more built-up now than it had been previously. It isn’t grand by any means, but there has been a good amount of effort put into the structure. You have the plaque embedded in the center, surrounded by platforms to help elevate you to get a better view. Then surrounding the entire thing are quite a lot of stalls where the local Native Americans sell their trinkets and souvenirs. [...] While we had issues at other places with people stepping into photos, or not moving along once they got their pictures taken; at Four Corners everyone seemed to be very courteous, offered to take each other’s pictures, and moved out of the way as soon as they got their shots.”
