As a national park tour guide in Colorado, it's important to inform visitors about the consequences of collecting point of interest. While it may be tempting to take home a rock or flower as a souvenir, it can have serious environmental impacts. Removing natural materials disrupts the delicate balance of the park's ecosystem and can harm wildlife habitats.

Despite these consequences, there are still plenty of reasons to visit Colorado's national parks. Visitors can hike through stunning landscapes, spot a variety of wildlife, and learn about the area's rich history and culture. Some unique sights include the iconic Rocky Mountains, ancient cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde National Park, and the world's largest natural hot springs at Glenwood Springs.

It's important to remind visitors that they can enjoy the beauty of Colorado's national parks without harming the environment. Encourage them to take only photos and leave only footprints, respecting the natural world around them. By doing so, they can help preserve these special places for generations to come.
