From 2 to 93: Record-breaking National Park Visitors
TL;DR Summary
Joy Ryan, a 93-year-old grandmother from Ohio, and her 42-year-old grandson Brad Ryan set a world record by visiting all 63 U.S. national parks together. The journey began when Brad, who had become estranged from Joy, suggested they make raisin-filled cookies together. They visited one national park after another, and Joy kept getting stronger. Their final stop was the National Park of American Samoa in the South Pacific. The tour of the national parks has healed the rift that once separated them.
