A park ranger would most likely advise hikers and campers not to build a campfire in the following locations:
1. **Near Dry or Grassy Areas**: These areas can be highly flammable, especially during dry seasons, and can easily catch fire.
2. **In Designated Wilderness Areas**: Many parks have specific regulations prohibiting campfires to preserve the natural environment and reduce the risk of wildfires.
3. **Close to Overhanging Branches or Vegetation**: Fires can easily spread to nearby trees or shrubs, posing a fire hazard.
4. **Near Water Sources**: Building a fire near lakes, rivers, or streams can harm vegetation, wildlife, and water quality.
5. **In Areas with Fire Bans or Restrictions**: During droughts or high fire danger seasons, many parks enforce fire bans, and rangers will instruct visitors accordingly.
6. **In Campgrounds Not Designated for Fires**: Some campgrounds may have designated fire pits or communal fire areas, while others may restrict open flames entirely.
7. **On Rocky or Sandy Ground**: These areas may not provide adequate containment for a fire, increasing the risk of it spreading.
It's always best to follow park regulations and guidelines provided by rangers for safety and environmental protection.
