Rocky Mountain National Park is one of Colorado's most highly preserved and visited parks. National parks are intended to conserve the natural habitat, protect nature's wildlife and provide people with a place to enjoy nature. While preserving nature, the gardens also offer a place for people to suspend time and engage in recreational activities while basking in nature's radiant beauty.

The Rocky Mountain National Park Act was signed by President Woodrow Wilson on January 26, 1915, and has since made the park a national treasure for wildlife preservation. Over the decades, the park has been a recreational center for many. However, the park has seen a reduction in its capacity limits.

The astronomical increase in park attendance in July 2019 has had a devastating effect on the park. Over one million people visited the Rocky Mountain National Park in July 2019, causing a fair amount of pollution.

The park's management decided to reduce the number of people permitted within the park at once to conserve it, implementing a timed permit strictly from 6 AM to 5 PM daily, allowing 60% of the maximum parking capacity. 

The funds that the National Park receives from tourists and locals visiting contribute to managing the park. However, high attendance also impacts the park negatively, especially the animals and the plants surrounding it.   

The debatable question is, should the Rocky Mountain National Park start letting fewer people in to help stop decay and pollution?
