Go take a hike

Ninety-one-year-old John Jepkema recently became the oldest person ever to cross the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim.
🧗♀️ Age is just a number... The Colorado man spent months preparing for the five-day trek by walking five- to- eight miles each day, five days a week.
- "I would walk 3 miles to morning coffee with a 30-pound pack and then walk back home," he said.
- While the hike happened in 2019, John was recently acknowledged by Guinness World Records as the oldest person ever to make the 25+ mile journey.
