From Four Corners the Skywalk at the Grand Canyon to Vegas and Back

Starting your adventure at The Four Corners is a unique experience. It is the only place in the United States where four states (Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado) come together at one place. Here a person can stand in four states at the same time. The unique landmark is managed by the Navajo Nation and is open for visits from the public. The original marker was erected in 1912. The Four Corners Monument is located off US Highway 160. The area surrounding the monument is 25,000 square miles of Native American land on which both the Navajo, or Dine, and Ute people live.

Time to move on. Travel about 380 miles west, passing through Flagstaff Arizona, to the Grand Canyon. Sure you could be there for days and never take it all in. But, one site that you have to see when visiting this majes tic Canyon is the Grand Canyon Skywalk, an engineering marvel. Not only can this glass bridge hold 71 million pounds, it is suspended 4,000 feet over the Grand Canyon. Look to the left and see the majesty of the Colorado River. Gaze to the right at the silhouette of an eagle carved out in Grand Canyon wall.

After that, (as if you could leave!) a three hour trip west about 120 miles will land you in Vegas! There are a ton of things to do in Las Vegas. Here are a few: visit the strip, see a show, go to a night club, visit the Venetian, go to the Hoover Dam, see The Rat Pack is Back at the Plaza Hotel, go on a Red Rock Canyon Tour, visit casinos, have "Dinner in the Sky," or visit Death Valley. The list could go on forever!

And the last day, you can save for driving. It's almost 400 miles back to the Four Corners.
