Moon Canyon, 11.6 miles south of Rangely, Colorado, via County Road 23
The Fremont people were active artists in far northwestern Colorado a millennia ago, and their hunched flutist Kokopelli notwithstanding, this might just be their most intriguing work. Tucked away in a rocky chasm south of Rangely, accessible via dirt road and short foot trail, are a number carrot-shaped, carrot-colored figures, some bearing antennae atop their round heads. Vegetable gods? Carrot-like extraterrestrials that ate humans? Orange ghosts from the future? Your guess is as good as mine.
