Hi Alabama John, welcome to the Colorado Prospector forums. Make yourself right at home.
Prospecting, collecting, or sampling minerals within national parks is a big no no. Nationl parks are some neat places to visit along the travels but you'll want to pick out somewhere other than that for your prospecting adventures.
Have a great time out there with your grandson and safe travels.
