Carrot Man Pictographs

-A A +A
11.6 miles south of Rangely on Rio Blanco County 23, then turn west on Moon Canyon Rd. and go .3 mile to a Bureau of Land Management sign by a rock overhang over a small gully

Among pecked and painted figures on this site under a rock overhang the elongated “carrot men” are most conspicuous. The pictographs (rock paintings), painted in red hematite on a stone outcropping, are distinctly anthropomorphic work of the Fremont Culture. (Illustration, p. 5)
