How Jocelyn approaches travel
« A national park trip begins with preparation: reaching the right trailhead at sunrise, permit in hand, with the practical details already settled. »
Fifteen days, six national parks and an RV started the project. Jocelyn came home determined to return better prepared. He read the official documentation and recorded, park by park, what matters when planning: permits, seasonal windows, shuttles and real driving distances. Publishing that work became American Parks. He now directs its editorial line, maps and illustration system.
Three parks they recommend without hesitation
Yellowstone Idaho · Montana · Wyoming Le premier parc du monde, et toujours celui qui fixe la barre : geysers, canyon, bisons. Zion Utah Des parois rouges, une rivière pour sentier : le parc qui convertit les hésitants. Grand Canyon Arizona L’échelle qu’aucune photo ne rend, et une rive nord que presque personne ne pousse.
