For a more manageable recreation trail, walkers and runners opt for the inviting 3.5 mile Westerly Creek. The trail travels north to south, and it connects Cherry Creek State Park with the High Line Canal at Expo Park. Access and parking to the trail are conveniently found at Expo Park and Utah Park.

It takes a whole lot more than just two wheels to have a safe and fun cycling experience. For all the necessary accessories you need, wheel into Aurora's Treads Bicycle Outfitters. In addition to selling the latest bicycles, you'll find helmets, gloves and other necessary gear. Plus, the staff will make sure that your bike is road ready as they offer bike "tune-ups" that ensure that when you hit the road, you will have plenty of fun, but stay as safe as possible.

Aurora's Plains Conservation Center offers you a chance to explore the area's natural history in a truly unique and memorable way. The admission price varies depending on the program or tour you are going on, but it is well worth it. You'll get a chance to explore the 1,100-acre Metro-close to Aurora site and you may encounter some "prairie originals" like pronghorns, prairie dogs, coyotes, owls, meadowlarks and red-tailed hawks. In all, it's a great way to see a side of Aurora's natural beauty that you otherwise wouldn't get a chance to encounter.
