Rangely
Rangely, just 20 miles southeast of Dinosaur National Monument on the Dinosaur Diamond National Scenic Byway, is center to one of the last areas of the West explored by European settlers. Nestled in the lower White River Valley at the heart of the Canyon Pintado National Historic District, the community boasts access to green forests, riddled with wildlife, high desert plateaus and plunging canyons marked with petroglyphs left by the native Fremont and Ute civilizations.
