Imagine a week immersed in the history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes of the Four Corners. This sweepstakes will award two winners an unforgettable prize connected to the rich archaeological heritage of the American Southwest.

The first winner drawn will choose one of two extraordinary prizes:

Option 1: A Week in Four Corners Country*

Enjoy a one-week stay at the Retro Inn at Mesa Verde in Cortez, Colorado - a classic basecamp for exploring the Southwest’s most iconic landscapes: Mesa Verde National Park, Canyon of the Ancients, Monument Valley, and the San Juan National Forest.

This unforgettable getaway includes two restaurant certificates, a $25 certificate to WildEdge Brewery, two rental bikes from Kokopelli Bike & Board to explore local trails, two tickets for the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, a behind-the-scenes visit to the Montezuma Heritage Museum, and a personalized archaeological tour with Cory Breternitz, a regional archaeologist with decades of experience across the Four Corners.

World-class hiking, archaeology, biking, and dark skies — all included!

Option 2: Authentic Hand-Woven Navajo Weaving*

Choose a stunning 26” x 44” Ganado Red Navajo rug, hand-woven by Annie White using traditional techniques passed down through generations. This piece, valued at $900, is more than décor—it’s a living expression of cultural knowledge, history, and artistry from the Four Corners region.

*The second winner will receive the remaining prize.
