Backbend in four states.

Four Corners Monument

The Four Corners sign said that this was open until 5 PM, but we got there at 3 PM and it was closed. My granddaughter and I went back the next day at 9 AM and it was open and no waiting. It is so cool. Admission was a bit high, but worth it. Only two vendors, but they were friendly. Made me feel at home. There was only one other couple there and they stayed to watch my granddaughter do a backbend in four states. We found this to be a "wicked awesome" place to see.

The non-standard hours at Four Corners have frustrated travelers for years. We're glad you were able to return for a successful second attempt!

$5 each person, excessive. Restrooms broken. Native Americans booths nice, but only a handful.

The fried bread was not hot or fresh. They do not allow pets. Very saddened by that.

Great stop for the kids and me. Beautiful surrounding scenery, with plenty of mountain and terrain views.

Great time of year to come... very few people and the patches of snow are beautiful. Use a bathroom before you arrive -- the one there will haunt your dreams!
