#BestOf5
There is a gorgeous and #colorful sunflower field out by the airport. Most people either don't know that it exists, or unaware that you can literally stop and explore it at your leisure.

Sunflowers extend as far as the eye an see.
Take the Pena Blvd exit to the airport, take the exit to 56th Ave, turn right on 56th ave and go about 5 or 6 miles past the 470 intersection.
It will be on your right side of the road. Shortly after the sunflower field is next to you, there will be a dirt road off to your right. Take that and park anywhere.
There aren't any "No Trespassing" signs or anything.

Planes fly low over head and make for a simply stunning day.
