The Grand Canyon National Park celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, but in January, something rather special took place at the esteemed park that had nothing do do with the centennial. A spectacular lady whose granddaughter lives and works at the park paid a visit, and while there, she received an unexpected distinction.

103-year-old Rose Torphy became intrigued about the Junior Ranger program at the park. It an education programming initiative designed for anyone ages 4 and up.

It promotes preserving and protecting national parks and seeks to educate youngsters about nature and encourage curiosity.

Even though a spry Trophy is actually older than the park itself, she decided to become a Junior Ranger because she admires and respects what the program stands for.

Her wish is that the Grand Canyon will be preserved so that her great-great-grandchildren can delight in its charm as well.

Rose’s family says that she is an inspiration and has been a blessing to five generations of her family.

They describe her as being thoughtful and believe that her dynamic personality keeps everyone on their toes.

One example of the sweet grandmother’s first-rate personality is that on her 103rd birthday this year, she did not want gifts. Instead, to mark the occasion, she constructed handmade “books of wisdom” for her great-great grandchildren.

The books included photos of her and valuable words of advice.

It is safe to assume that these thoughtful books will be treasured as heirlooms for years to come, throughout many generations. Rose is a shining example of how one should never feel too old to take on a new adventure or role in life.
