My most memorable moment from our trip is paradoxical.
It was my first glimpse of the Rockies and all I could think was how beautiful it was and wonder why
anyone would ever think to exploit something like it.  So, I felt joy and sadness all at once. 
In the end, it only reinforced my belief in the need for the conservation of such places;
so those yet to come can have the opportunities and experiences I have had.
