Four Corners!!!

Farmington, NM and Teec Nos Pos, AZ  will sandwich our adventure to Four Corners, the part of the U.S. where the square states (Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah) all come together. The monument there allows visitors to be in four states at one time!!! So, while we don't spend any time biking through Colorado, I guess we technically will visit it!

Famington, NM

• The largest metropolitan area in the four corners region.
• Like Pittsburgh, the city is at the confluence of 3 rivers, the San Juan River,  Animas River, and the La Plata River.
• Farmington is the largest city in San Juan county, the largest country, by area, in the U.S.
• Farmington and surrounding areas are home to several Indian Reservations, including the Navajo, Ute, and Southern Ute, as well as located near the Aztec Ruins National Monument.

Teec Nos Pos, AZ

• The name is Navajo, translated roughly to mean "Cottonwoods in a circle"
• 96.50% of the population is Native American.
• Of the approximately 800 residents, 43.8% live below the poverty line, including 46.6% of those under 18 & 78.9% of those over age 65.

Kayenta, AZ

• Kayenta is part of the Navajo Nation. The Navajo Nation observes Daylight Savings time while the state of Arizona as a whole does not.
• It is illegal to serve alcohol in Kayenta, as it is in most of the Navajo Nation.
• The population is very young, with 38.9% of the 5,189 residents under the age of 18.
