The Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail now has an official Visitor Center, and there’s another one coming. The NPS doesn’t actually own any land for a permanent Visitor Center on the Trail, but in keeping with the spirit of the Trail these beauties will vagabond around the trail. Ideally, in this way they will reach many more people than a fixed building could.
Kudos to the Lake Roosevelt NRA staff who early-on adopted official responsibility for the nascent Trail and continues to be the administrative hub and a driving force behind the Trail. After many moons of hard work, the first trailer (of two!) was delivered yesterday. Inside are exhibits on the critters, rocks, history, and more of the area!
The sides are decorated with illustrations of people boating, fishing, hiking, camping, and playing in Lake Roosevelt, as well as scenic views along Lake Roosevelt. A wavy line and National Park Service arrowhead symbol separate the Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail section, which has illustrations of geologic formations. They tell the story of the #IceAgeFloodsNGT as well as Lake Roosevelt NPS. We’re beyond excited to share them with you this summer. Keep your eyes peeled on the Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail NPS Facebook page for future updates to know when and where to find them!
