As one of the more culturally significant routes in Colorado, this trail has many prehistoric sites from Navajo, Utes, and Puebloan communities. Although 114 miles of the road travels through Colorado, a large portion also extends into Utah and through Navajo Nation. One of the most popular attractions is the Four Corners Monument, the only place in the country that is shared by four separate states (Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico). The region is also teeming with numerous museums, heritage centers, and archeological sites. Cultural highlights along the way include Ute Mountain Indian Reservation, the Yucca House National Monument, and the prehistoric Pueblo cliff dwellings in the Mesa Verde National Park.
