I think that every generation
experiences the natural world
differently like the 50s and 60s like
this glorified like Yellowstone go see
the Bears maybe during like my parents
generation the park system was sort of
blooming and emerging whereas now it’s a
bit more in place the last generation it
was more like let’s take the whole
family in the camper van and spend a
week in Yellowstone my dad always took
us camping I went a lot of places when I
was in a stroller I Yellowstone we went
to a lot of national parks did a lot of
camping shyam Bryce I don’t really
remember any of it we just actually go
to Joshua Tree but I was like I mean I
never grew up in a family or anything
like that were that we went out and kind
of explored that much I used to like
outdoor but I didn’t have any
opportunities to do anything other than
biking the roads I’ve never seen the
mountains before I’ve never been past
Illinois the way national parks were
developed for visitation is that they
were made for automobile driving driving
through older couples we’ve usually been
the youngest people it’s definitely the
older crowd that’s still here people who
have been dirt bagging it before I was
born so we do get a lot of youth from
places like China
sometimes even France Germany that come
here and they usually seem pretty
excited people in my generation yeah
they they experienced national parks a
little differently I think it’s more
active for one our generation it’s more
like just kind of scattershot let’s go
our generation definitely appreciates
beautiful places I think our generation
is getting out there a lot more my
family and friends they thought I was
crazy
my family has really followed me into
the outdoors people who are starting to
actually get out in the backcountry it
seems to me that there’s definitely been
a push towards being out in the nature
more I mean every time we go to keep a
Lulu in camp it’s full and majority is
young people so yeah I mean I think my
dinner that may comes I feel like most
of my generation is moving to the city
you find like way more value and
importance and getting out of the city
to you know there’s not like this middle
ground explored away from the busy
yellow away I actually like was deep
into the freelance photography trying to
actually going on with all day in Los
Angeles I was living in Venice Beach I’m
working in fashion it just started to
ring hollow after a while and just hit
the brakes I think I was like absolutely
not I’m going to Zion I should say that
we don’t take it for granted there’s a
lot of Millennials that are crippled by
student debt so a lot of times I think
it is difficult for people to be their
jobs you can always come back to the
city there’s you know it’s always there
waiting for you think what would John
Mayer think about right now what would
he think about the paved roads and all
the people out here seeing it and
appreciating it and I honestly think
that he would be excited that so many
people it’s so excited about nature I’m
so happy
I think that my kids are gonna be like
mom you guys just took off in your bands
a different way that we’re experiencing
parks is that we’re doing it in a more
interactive way so we’ll tweet it we’ll
Instagram it we use Google Maps to find
all sorts of parts to go camping in here
baby you can go look at trails and topo
maps you know I use birding apps to
identify birds it’s easier than ever the
question is where’s the line there’s
always this debate and people are like
how much you’re actually looking at what
you’re seeing even though they’re in
nature they’re seeing it still through a
screen
