Rose Torphy, mother of three and great-grandmother of 10, became the Grand Canyon National Park’s oldest Junior Ranger during her January visit to Grand Canyon National Park.
Torphy first visited the park in 1985 and fell for the beautiful vistas and unique natural features. During her January visit, Torphy took part in the Junior Ranger program, which has participants complete an activity book and pledge to protect the park.
Torphy’s daughter, Cheri Stoneburner, reports that Torphy has not removed the junior ranger pin from her coat since she returned from her trip to the canyon.
“Everywhere we go, people ask her about her junior ranger pin,” Stoneburner told the New York Post, “and she says, “You’re never too old to see the Grand Canyon!”
