Four Corners Monument

Picture of the Day for 10/23/2014. My sister Robynne and I drove to New Mexico for a speech therapy conference. On the way there today we stopped at the Four Corners Monument where Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico meet. It's kind of cool that you can stand in four states all at the same time. 

The Four Corners are literally in the middle of nowhere on the Navajo reservation. The countryside is vast and beautiful. I was sad to see the road to the monument was very noticeably littered with trash. It was kind of a jarring juxtaposition against the stunning landscape. I'm wondering if the Navajo people don't have the resources to deal with the trash left behind by all the tourists visiting the area.
