Doug Crispin has been a park ranger for more than 50 years. His career began on a family vacation to the South Rim of Grand Canyon when he convinced his parents to leave him there for the summer so he could work as a bus boy at the El Tovar Hotel. After graduating college, Doug became a park ranger and met his wife. They were married at Shoshone Point on the South Rim. They moved to Oregon to raise their son where Doug worked a park ranger for Oregon State Parks. After retirement, Doug returned to the life of a seasonal interpretation ranger. He has worked in 15 national parks, including the last 5 seasons on the North Rim.
