After sleeping in a hotel for the first time in 4 nights we suffered through the 2 star hotel breakfast and headed to 4 corners. Tori had wanted to see the place where you can stand in 4 states at once, Colorado, Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico. We arrived at the gate to realize that this place was a huge money grab. Asking for $5 a person, Kieran and I passed and we dropped Tori off. 20 minutes later she returned having stood in 4 states, knowing it wasnt worth the time or money, lesson learned.
We then headed back through Cortez, Colorado and made our way to Mesa Verde National Park. This park captures the history of the native people who lived in this area up until 1380. The park shows their progress and innovation in housing and lifestyle before they had exhausted the land and left.
We saw various attractions in the park and capped the day with a tour of Cliff Palace. Leaving the park we were all amazed at what had been made by the primitive stone tools of the Pueblo people.
Knowing we had an intense hike the following day we drove a few hours up to Montrose, Colorado to be near Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.
