Rock alignments of various sorts are found at high altitudes in the Front Range of northcentral Colorado. An example on Trail Ridge in Rocky Mountain National Park consists of a linear arrangement of rocks of unknown function. Somewhat similar structures found elsewhere in northwestern America are believed to be for ceremonial purposes, and this also may be true of the Colorado examples
