El Mesteno

As I understand it, any piece of art in this location has a limited tenure and that's where the stories come from about the City wanting to remove it. I have no idea where this stands though- it's quite popular.

Comments aren't true. The piece was commissioned by the city and placed after the airport opened. The sculpture is much creepier then you know however. The piece was commissioned by a famous artist while it was being made it fell and crushed the artist. This demon horse killed it's maker. How gruesome is that.

This is also dubbed Bluecifer. It is rumored to have fallen onto the original sculptor before it was complete, crushing him to death. Creepy horse, and his eyes burn a bright red!

The comments about the city trying to remove it is untrue. The city commissioned this piece of art. Some residents of Denver are attempting to have it removed.

An interesting true fact about this horse is it killed its sculptor, Luis Jiménez. While working on the horse, a piece of the torso fell on Jiménez and severed an artery in his leg.

this is freaking awesome

The actual name is Blue Mustang. Seems many people call it Blucifer as well.
The history is interesting, and a bit scary.
The Roadtrippers coordinates take you through the parking lot. Don’t worry, we were able to drive right through without having to pay.
Google maps directions also work, without worrying about the parking lot. Search “Blucifer” or “Blue Mustang” If you search “El Mesteno”, you will not find it.
As you leave, you pass the mustang again. It is on the left side both times.
There are a lot of no parking or stopping signs along the road and no place to properly stop to take pictures of it. We didn’t want to risk getting in trouble for up close pictures.
There were rumors online that it would be removed or moved to another location. As of June 2019, Blucifer is still there!
Enjoy! And be safe!

Is this easy to get to via car & not just if you're flying into or out of the airport?
