World's Largest Chili Pepper

How can you get travelers to notice your hotel? Try placing a 47-foot long fire engine red chili pepper in front of it! The pepper is made of 2 1/2 tons of concrete and it rests on the north side of U.S. Hwy 70 in front of America's Best Value Inn. (Incidentally, the chile pepper is New Mexico's favorite crop.)
