\t\t\t\tRecently while on a run, resident Brandon Litton decided to take a different route to enjoy some of Colorado\u2019s most beautiful scenery.\u00a0 He chose the popular Sand Creek Trail.\u00a0 While enjoying his run, Brandon came upon a sign that somewhat shocked him.\u00a0 \u201cI was carefully looking at the signs to make sure I didn\u2019t get lost on the way back, and one of the signs said \u2018Welcome to Aurora.\u2019\u00a0 I didn\u2019t know that I had been running that long, but clearly, I had to have gone 8 or 9 miles.\u201d\u00a0 After some brief investigating, this publication has learned that Sand Creek Trail, in fact, does go all the way to Aurora.\u00a0 Estimates vary on how far away Aurora is on the route, but it is somewhere between 6 and 14 miles.\u00a0 \u201cSure, it was different,\u201d mentioned Brandon.\u00a0 \u201cThere were teenagers making out on bridges, people fishing in a creek, and I also saw what appeared to be a lot of lost construction workers.\u201d\u00a0 The Stapleton MCA plans to put out information on the trail, and help educate residents on how to react to this diverse portion of the trail.\u00a0 \u201cFirst of all, most of our residents have never seen a teenager,\u201d mentioned Stapleton MCA President Josh Runyan.\u00a0 \u201cWe want to teach them how to react of they see these strange beings wandering around.\u00a0 We are also looking into getting a more pre-emptive sign down there, such as \u201cAurora:\u00a0 Two Miles.\u201d\u00a0 Residents are encouraged to run and bike on the beautiful Sand Creek Trail, but are asked to make sure they are properly educated and equipped.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
