The National Park Service at Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area (LRNRA) and Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail (IAFNGT) is excited to announce that both official park brochures are available in audio described versions. Audio description of park brochures provides verbal description of key visual elements including photos, illustrations, and maps allowing visitors with visual impairments to have a more inclusive experience. This process works to provide everyone equal access to the same content. These versions of our brochures can be found on their respective website:

• LRNA: Park Brochure - Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov)

• IAFNGT: Park Brochure - Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov)

These brochures and hundreds of other National Park Service audio described brochures are also available on the Unidiscription Project mobile app found in iOS and Android app stores. The UniDescription Project is a collaboration between the University of Hawaii (UH) School of Communication and Information, UH Center on Disability Studies, and the National Park Service led by Dr. Brett Oppegaard. Their goal is simple and straightforward: Audio Describe the World!
