If you're looking to crank your summer travel plans up a notch, look no further that your local national park.
Stefanie Payne, a communication strategist at NASA, and Jonathan Irish, a professional photographer represented by National Geographic, took a year-long sabbatical to make an appearance at every single national park in the country. They traveled to all of America's 59 national parks — that's one park every six days.
Jonathan and Stefanie join The Takeaway to share some highlights of their trip, and to inspire listeners to take advantage of the majestic scenery and natural wonder offered by The National Parks Service. They document their incredible journey in a new multimedia project, "The Greatest American Road Trip."
