A grandson and his 93-year-old grandmother, who spent nearly a decade estranged, have come together to complete an epic quest: the pair has visited all 63 national parks in the United States in just over seven years. In doing so, the grandma made history.

On May 16, “Grandma Joy” Ryan became the oldest living person to visit every U.S. National Park. Her grandson, Brad Ryan, a veterinarian who lives in the same town, Duncan Falls, Ohio, told The Epoch Times that it was their shared penchant for nature that inspired them to embark on this ambitious trip.
