Tony Hepp, Getting to Know Roxborough Park
Tony, besides being Colette's husband, is a volunteer naturalist at Roxborough State Park. Tony gave us a detailed, fascinating description and history of the park including its geological formations and people on the land. Roxborough State Park is a Colorado Natural Area and a national natural landmark. It is also a national and international avian flyway. For more information, cpw.state.co.us.
