: is a reserved character in the URL but it's acceptable in a query string. So if it works for your routing you could simply use:

[System.Web.Http.HttpGet]
[GET("range")]
public HttpResponseMessage Get(DateTime start, DateTime end)

and your URL request can look like this:

http://localhost:51258/plots/range?start=2013-07-29T21:58:39&end=2013-08-05T21:58:39
