Four Corners and Painted Desert

After visiting Mesa Verde in Colorado we drove down to Four Corners where the States of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Arizona converge at one spot. Here is the local Islander trying his best to touch all four states.
This site - Four Corners is operated by the Navajo Tribe, and not by the National Service of the Interior of the US government. Many of the lands here are owned by Native Americans; there are many reservations within the four corners.


The photo below is part of the Painted Desert wich is located in Arizona; it covers hundreds of miles south of Four Corners and sweeps to the south west in its expansion. Part of the Painted Desert encompasses the Petrified Forest in south eastern Arizona.
