ARVADA - Fourteen-year-old Jonathan Griesinger says he wanted people
to think about the origins of the universe when they stroll by his
planetary walk along Van Bibber Creek.
A jogger disagreed.
Griesinger designed and installed a series of 10 stones along the
trail through the Stenger Athletic Complex. The first represents the
sun and the rest are engraved with the names of the nine planets. The
stones are spaced in proportion to the planets' actual distances from
the sun. Pluto, the farthest stone, is about a half-mile from the
starting point near 58th Avenue and Oak Street.
Griesinger also placed an 11th stone that he has been ordered to
remove. The stone is engraved with a Bible verse that says, "The
heavens declare the glory of God."
