Why he is taking his grandmother to every US national park
Brad Ryan and his 89-year-old grandmother are close, So Close that when she told him she had never seen The Ocean or mountains Brad knew he had to change that.
Joy lives in a small house in Ohio and had worked a minimum wage job at a grocery store right up to her early eighties. Two of her Three Sons had died young and she had led a simple life.
During a conversation about Brad's travels on the Appalachian Trail Joy told her grandson she regretted not seeing more of The World .
Then in 2015 Brad's classmate at veterinary school took his own life.
"It Hit Me really hard and took a mental toll, I empathised with being in a dark place myself and I was feeling hopeless," Brad told the BBC.
Brad decided on a Trip to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and he asked his Grandma Joy to come with him.
On seeing Joy's "zest For Life " Brad decided to document The Trip on Social Media .
"Sometimes it wasn't what She Said but it was the look in Her Eyes , they were in a constant state of wonder and awe.

"I was focused on goals, like climbing the mountain, but sometimes it's not all about The Epic views, it's about enjoying those little moments too," Brad says.
The Trip was so successful Brad Set Up a Go Fund Me page which helped them pay for a month long Trip to 21 US National Parks.
Since then the pair have been to 29 National Parks in total, and had many adventures along the way, including being charged by a moose at Glacier National Park in Montana and rolling down sand dunes at the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve in Southern Colorado .
