When I was younger the movie “A Walk to Remember” came out. I watched it, cried over it, and loved it. I immediately went out and bought the book to soak up more of what Nicholas Sparks wrote in the story. One of my favorite parts of the movie was when Landon decided to take Jamie out to fulfill all of her bucket list. One of the items on her list was to be in two places at once. Though simple, it was something I thought was super neat so imagine my surprise when I found out about the Four Corners Monument and the ability of being in 4 states at once.
The Four Corners Monument: Being in 4 States at Once
The Four Corners Monument is essentially where 4 of our south western states(Arizona, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico) meet. Being that we have driven every direction through the United States, this was a destination I wanted to check out so that I could say that I have been in four places at once.
The monument itself isn’t that large. You see signs everywhere showing you where to head once you’re in the general area. Finally you pull down a dirt road to a building where the monument is directly in the middle displaying which state you are in. The flags of each state are flying high and the middle has a brass metallic plate letting you know you’re in the right spot.
The building surrounding the monuments have little shops set up where you can purchase local handmade goods. Mostly of Native American variety, there is jewelry to foods for you to chose from if you’d like a “souvenir” of your trip.
Though the monument wasn’t the most exciting thing in the world, it was still pretty neat being in 4 states at once and making people jealous, haha. Walk to Remember goal checked off the list.
This monument is one for my bucket list when I get to the states.
Very nice! That is one place I have not been to yet. I do remember watching The Simpsons episode where the family stood in the four corners. It was funny. I hope you have a blast!
This is something I have always wanted to go see and visit. Who doesn’t want to stand in four states all at the sometime. Great lesson for kids to experience and see.
Love A Walk To Remember! That is so cool you came across the Four Corners Monument. Now you can say you were in 4 states at the same place and time!
We came so close to going to this monument! How cool! I have been to the equatorial monument, which was neat too.
omy! who doesnt want to visit this place! ive heard about this from my bff. she already been there! im so jealous!
Oooo now this would be one neat place to visit!!!! I can see my daughter thinking this was the coolest thing ever, being 4 places at the same time lol
I’ve been to Utah and Arizona.. I’d love to visit Colorado and New Mexico soon, my husband spent his college time in Colorado.
What an interesting monument! I’d love to visit it one day! I love “A Walk to Remember” movie too!
Now who wouldn’t want to be in four places at once? It would be so awesome.
Good day! I could have sworn I’ve been to this website before but after checking through some of the post I realized it’s new to me. Anyways, I’m definitely glad I found it and I’ll be bookmarking and checking back frequently!
