Four Corners Monument
The only point in the United States where four states meet (Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico), where you can take a photo with one hand in each state.
The monument is on Navajo Nation land and is managed by the Navajo Nation. Entry costs about US$10 per person and is cash only (confirm on site). Around the plaza, Navajo vendors sell jewellery and fry bread. Photos often involve a queue. It's about 65 km from Cortez, around an hour's drive, and can be combined with Hovenweep or Ship Rock.
