Four Corners
Southwest boundary convergence
Four Corners is the only point in the United States where four states meet: Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah.
A monument marks the spot, allowing visitors to stand in four states simultaneously.
The surrounding region, characterized by high desert and Navajo lands, is also called the Four Corners area. (Lowercase four corners is a general phrase.)
