Four corners region

Hi Folks,

Need some general advice. We are thinking of a 2 week 4 corners trip. We have done the "major" western national parks, and are considering Capitol Reef, Escalante, etc. We are coming from Tucson (where we moved from the east coast 3 years ago,) What would you suggest as an itinerary?

Thanks,

Steve

    Everyone needs a picture of them with arms and legs in all four states at same time. Just like everyone also needs a picture of them standing next to the ROUTE 66 Highway sign out West before they are all gone...

    We really like the 4-Corners area. Lots to see and do outdoors-Here is a few suggestions. Chaco Canyon Nat'l Historic Park, El Malpais Nat'l Mon, Monument Valley, Valley of the Gods(a mini Monument Valley), Canyonland NP, Mesa Verde NP--lots of great places! Maybe a few trips to the area would give you the best time at these locations. I am sure my list is from at least 4 different trips to the area. Have a great time!
