I got there in the final state. After circling the point 24 times, I can now say I've been to Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico a couple of dozen times.
Those are little stalls circling the point. Locals--mostly Native Americans--sell souvenirs and food and dring at them. Mostly I'm glad that you can still stand at the corner point. It's not clear here, but there's an elevated platform so you can take goofy pictures of people in four states at once. The funny thing is that the point, as originally defined by latitude and longitude west of the Capitol building, is a few hundred feet away at the bottom of a canyon. I think the surveyors cheated and put the marker someplace flat. Once they placed the marker, that became the legally defined point.
Have you ever been to the three-corners point of Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio?
There's just a little iron box in the middle of the road, and a rock with a plaque maybe 150 feet down the road. No park or plaza or anything, Just farms.
As an alternative, I'd love to take you there on a dogless roadtrip someday.
