The Four Corners area is home to the heinous 1998 murder of an area Sheriff and shooting up of the area by several convicts. The story is retold in a National Geographic Adventure magazine here http://adventure.nationalgeographic.com/2008/10/fugitives/david-roberts-text/1
During the manhunt, several law enforcement men and women stayed at the Recapture Lodge where we would stay on our trip. (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&view=text&gl=us&q=lodging+near+four+corners,+twin+rocks,+utah&ie=UTF8&hl=en&sll=39.115180,-111.468730&sspn=5.058257,5.101895&latlng=664533844984828391&ei=F-NtSrzHIIi69QSBys3cBw&cd=3&usq=lodging+near+four+corners,+twin+rocks). This is a great place virtually right on the Colorado River that runs fast with a thick muddy look back behind the lodge. The rooms are nothing to get excited about, but the location is and there is not a lot around besides this lodge. We had dinner at the nearby Twin Rocks Cafe (http://www.twinrockscafe.com/) which offered decent food, but the service was lacking (bigtime). Again, though, the view was awesome.
