Summertime presents tourists and vacationers with an opportunity to experience nature, adventure in the wild, and awe-inspiring landscapes. The exciting activity, however, also means that these holiday spots will be congested with visitors and travelers up for the great outdoors. While this activity will be good for the tourism industry, there is a risk of pollution. Maintaining these places will be pretty difficult for the authorities.

Rocky Mountain National Park is one of the most popular tourist spots in the U.S., with magnificent views all over the map and wildlife wandering the hills, making it a fantastic nature trip. The park is ideal for nature lovers and casual visitors with its vast array of adventure activities. Thus, it's no longer surprising that over three million people visit the park annually. 

In 2020, U.S Interior Secretary David Bernhardt implemented a zero entrance fee for all national parks nationwide. The decision aimed to encourage Americans and tourists to visit the country's remarkable outdoors more often.

Limiting the number of park visitors is crucial for preserving these landmarks; we must ensure that future generations can also enjoy and appreciate them. 

National Parks Services (NPS) reported in 2019 that the countrywide total number of visits had reached over 327.5 million. And while that number is favorable for tourism-dependent businesses, overcrowding is an ongoing issue. 

Congestion also imposes a threat to the overall condition of the parks. Limiting the number of visitors would be ideal to ensure that the landmark will be easier to maintain. Waste management will also be more efficient if the park is not too congested with visitors. Reduction in capacity is a great step towards preservation.
