My husband and I just visited this place on April. I was at awe of this place and the views. I especially loved seeing the wild horses in the canyons and on the side of the highway. I hope to take my kids and our grandkids one day. Have a Blessed Day
The marker is around 1,800 ft. east of where it was actually intended. -- A basic tenet of boundary surveying is that once a monument has been established and accepted by the parties involved (in the case of the Four Corners monument, the parties were the four territories and the U.S. Congress), the location of the physical monument is the ultimate authority in delineating a boundary. So it became, and still is, the exact legal boundary marker. Previous technical geodetic details are absolutely moot. All four state boundaries lead directly to it. So yes, you got to be in four states at once for real.
I enjoyed your visit to the 4 corners monument (although it's not truly at the real 4 corners). The cactus you liked at about 7:30 time mark is a Cholla cactus. They have nasty barbed spines that are painful to pull out if you get stuck (DAMHIK). The ones in west Texas do have a beautiful pink-red flower in the spring though.
It’s been mentioned countless times in the comments. The position of the Four Corners Monument is correct according to geographical boundaries and is accepted as the legal state boundaries. It’s a fun place to visit and capture a memory.
Or try going to the Preston monument. Its the nearest 3 corners monument to the 4 corners one Its where colorado and New mexico (2 Of the 4 corner states) meet Oklahoma. It does not have any checkpoints. and you don't need to pay. There are a multiple unpaved roads that lead to this monument. Be aware of the cows if you have a phobia of them. Overall there isn't anybody and its just you
We were there for about an hour…because I shopped at every single jewelry stall!! We also got a Navajo taco of course. You can be in and out quickly if you want. Give yourself more time if it’s a weekend. There is typically a line for taking photos. Totally worth it!!

Great to see you are having such a good time here.
In the late 1950's when I visited with my parents there was a slab of concrete with that small round benchmark in the middle. So different now.
Everything changes and places improve over time.

Super cute with the old and new pics. Should become a tradition. Pretty sure I didnt have to tell you that.
If you're asked what you're doing down there on the ground, you could pull out your Starrett and say you're measuring.... ;)
I'm happy you were able to recreate honeymoon memories including the Fry Bread and Tacos.
That's very cool guys
We make those Tacos all the time yummy❤
👍🇺🇲
You are lucky. Two years ago we tried to go there but it was closed.

@@AbomAdventures Try going to the preston monument. Its better than the 4 corners monument
Did the same thing when I was a kid
Was there in 1975 didn't have any of that the monument that was it trucks and vans around outside of circle don't think they mad u pay
I visited in 2005 and I'm so glad I got to see it without all this concrete around it. I loved the raw version of it.
you should make a video on Ram upgrades, like your videos
Got those work boots on
We where there in 2020 and it was closed. Maybe try next year .
Or try going to the Preston monument. Its the nearest 3 corners monument to the 4 corners one

4 corners but only allowed 3 photo's, does this mean you have to revisit just to complete the set of corners?
That’s how they get ya 😂
How long did you visit the monument? I’m trying to plan out my day for a future trip.
