Pawnee National Grassland and the Pawnee Buttes are probably my favorite place in Northeastern Colorado. The area is remote, peaceful, and pretty.
My favorite time to visit is in the late spring; that's when the grass is at it's greenest, some wildflowers are present, and the afternoon weather is dramatic.
The roads can be confusing, so plan ahead. Cell coverage can be spotty, so if you're using your cell phone for navigation then I suggest downloading the map tiles for offline use before you go.
