The 'Four Corners' Stance

■■■■■
● Featured

A popular belief that one can easily stand with a limb in each of the four US states (Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah) simultaneously at the Four Corners Monument.

●

What People Remember

Many distinctly remember being taught or seeing pictures where a person could comfortably stretch out to touch all four states at once.

◉

What's Actually True

While there is indeed a monument marking the intersection of the four states, the actual point is so small that a typical adult cannot simultaneously place one limb in each state.
