Reply to comment by EveningIndividual977 in Great Sand Dunes National Park expands by 9,300 acres by tta2013

You can not collect rocks (or literally anything) at National Parks in America. It is actually a federal crime

That's up to the park, check out the website before you visit. I know they have a 3 bucket annual limit for the park nearby

It's really not up to the park. There are only two exceptions within the National Park Service. You are probably thinking of a park that isn't designated a National Park:
