Redman (Trail of the Whispering Giants)

Redman is a 37-foot folk-art wooden head carved in 1979 from a fallen cottonwood by Hungarian-American artist Peter Wolf Toth as part of his "Trail of the Whispering Giants" series — one in every U.S. state. Too weathered to stand, it was gently laid on its back in late 2022, and a local quarry donated massive stones to ring it in a half-circle shrine in 2023, turning its prone form into something genuinely eerie and moving.

The move: Pull over on US-34 west of Loveland and walk the roadside to view Redman lying flat against the sky, ringed by donated quarry stones — bring a picnic and binoculars, then continue a few miles further into Big Thompson Canyon for a short riverside hike before heading back to Loveland's downtown sculpture walk.
