The Shift From Fame to Familiarity For decades, celebrities dominated influence. They filled billboards, led commercials, and set cultural trends. But something has changed.

The great outdoors has always called to us. For generations, people have flocked to national parks, towering mountains, and postcard-perfect coastlines in search of beauty and escape.
