There is one spot in the United States where four states touch each other - ONLY ONE. That point where Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico touch, is a remote desolate piece of ground (actually on Navajo reservation land.) Among other parts of the region, we were headed for that place.
June 2005: Upon summer break, we caught a flight to Sin City - our launch point to explore the Beehive State and surrounding areas. We would take a trip often called the Grand Circle tour starting in Vegas, on to Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Arches National Park, The Four Corners region, and Grand Canyon National Park.
Our trip would hit these areas and more: We added Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, Goblin State Park, Mesa Verde National Park, the Hoover Dam, and Lake Meade National Rec Area.
Perhaps no landmark is more well known in this area than Delicate Arch in Arches National Park. It would be a tough hike in hot summer heat, but well worth the effort. Like several other trips we have taken, there are people that rarely get out in the real outdoors, they choose a famous landmark that requires extra effort to reach, and then head off as if they are walking to aisle 5 - the candy aisle - at their local grocery store.
But, there is more before we get there.....
