Welcome to the audio-described version of Olympic National Park's official print brochure. Through text and audio descriptions of photos, illustrations, and maps, this version interprets the two-sided color brochure that visitors receive. The brochure explores the diverse environments of the park, some of its highlights, and information for planning your visit.
This audio version lasts about 37 minutes, which we have divided into 29 sections. The first seven sections describe the front of the brochure, which is a large illustration showing the park's diverse environments. The remaining sections describe the back of the brochure, which is the park map and information about visitor services and safety.
You can listen straight through or choose which sections to hear. Most sections are less than one minute; the longest section describes the park map in detail and lasts 4 minutes.
A team from the National Park Service's Harpers Ferry Center audio-described this brochure during the August 2019 Descriptathon led by the UniD team from the University of Hawaii and NPS. We enjoyed working on it and hope you find it useful.
Olympic National Park is in Washington State, on a huge peninsula west of Seattle. The park occupies 1,440 square miles at the center of the peninsula and in a strip along the Pacific coast.
Olympic is one of more than 400 units in the National Park system. President Theodore Roosevelt set it aside as a national monument in 1909. Almost 30 years later, President Franklin Roosevelt further protected it as Olympic National Park. Today the park is internationally recognized as a Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site because of its rich natural and cultural resources.
Hold the closed brochure so the fold is at right. Open it out so you are holding a long, narrow item. Across the top is the standard National Park Service title band, which is about 1-inch high and is black. The park name, Olympic, is at far left in large, bold white letters. At far right, smaller white text reads Olympic National Park, Washington, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
Now unfold it and turn it 90 degrees
counterclockwise. A busy and diverse landscape illustration covers the rest of
the page. It depicts the major environments of Olympic National Park, coastal,
river, lowland rain forest, higher and drier forests, meadow, sub-alpine, and
alpine. The illustration moves from the coast on the left to the high mountains
at top, and a mountain forest to the right. This single illustration shows more
than one hundred plants and animals. Text appears in color blocks covering the
center bottom of the illustration, and begins with an introduction described in
the next component.
The title, "Explore Olympic," is in white letters in a dark box. The box begins as an opaque black on the left and becomes increasingly transparent until it fades into the illustration. This gives the visual effect of the title becoming part of the illustration. All of the text below the title is black and in a semitransparent box colored with a soft green that seems to mix all the greens in the illustration. The introductory paragraph begins below the title, and is double-spaced. The rest of the text is in three sections entitled Coast, Forests, and Mountains. This text is smaller and single-spaced.
BROCHURE TEXT
Waves boom along wilderness beaches and mix with snow-fed rivers. Ancient trees shelter wildlife. Rugged peaks embrace glaciers and subalpine meadows. Coast, forest, and mountain ecosystems combine to create this spectacular wilderness park. The Olympic Peninsula is home to eight American Indian tribes that developed complex hunter-gatherer societies and continue to keep their traditions alive. European explorers who ventured here in the late 1700s heralded the way for homesteaders. The Olympics were set aside as a national monument in 1909 and further protected as Olympic National Park in 1938. Today the park is internationally recognized as a Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site, testimony to its rich resources. Explore Olympic—a gift to the future.
The coastal environment spans the left edge of the illustration from top to bottom. In this coastal environment, rocky sea stacks are beaten on by ocean waves, a bald eagle perches on driftwood along the beach watching for prey, and an oystercatcher probes for food in a tidepool. Puffins, common murres, gulls, and a brown pelican fly along the coast. A harbor seal bobs in the ocean surf, gazing at you. An otter floats on its back, holding a sea urchin in its front paws, and is staring at you. In the background, seven people are in a canoe with a long, carved bow; they are paddling toward shore. On the beach, two people are walking on the beach, and a third, smaller person is running ahead. In the distance, the forested coastal cliffs fade into the ocean mist and the haze.
BROCHURE TEXT
Tides control the rhythm of life along this biologically diverse coastline. Twice-daily intertidal animals face pounding surf and drying winds. Coastal rivers serve as highways for migrating fish, and downed trees along riverbanks protect young salmon journeying from mountains to sea. When the adults return and swim upstream to spawn, their flesh carries a special form of nitrogen gathered during their years at sea. Most salmon die after spawning, but their death brings life. Bears, eagles, insects, and other animals feed on salmon carcasses, then deposit nutrients in rivers and forests. Marine nitrogen nourishes forest soils—a gift from the salmon.
The forest and river environments occupy the middle of the illustration. In the rain forest, moss-draped maple trees shadow over a backcountry trail and barn, knotted growths cling to cedar trees, and fallen trees are strewn about the rainforest floor. A peregrine falcon flies from the forest toward the ocean. A pileated woodpecker flies between an ancient evergreen and a skeletal maple tree.
Below the rain forest, the river flows right to left toward the ocean. Along the bank of the river, mountain beaver take shelter underneath the huckleberry and salmonberry that grows in the loamy soil. Frogs, salamanders, and a small herd of elk roam freely along both banks of the river. Fallen logs, branches, and smooth river rocks peek above the waterline of the river where a dipper and a harlequin duck rest. A stonefly and caddisfly cling to a single river stone at the river’s edge while a frog sits on the bank as if watching these potential meals. Below the clear waters of the river, a small group of salmon swim into the river, leaving their ocean home as they swim upstream to spawn at the end of their lives.
Along the right side of the illustration, along
the river bank, a forest is being pierced by the morning light. Several large
cedar trees hover over the forest floor and provide shade for the ferns,
shrubs, and small flowering plants below. From the tops of the trees a spotted
owl stretches its silent wings, clenches its claws, and dives toward a flying
squirrel in mid-flight. Below the flying squirrel, its cousin, the Douglas
squirrel, leaps along a fallen log. In the background beyond the largest cedar
tree, two people appear to be watching a group of bull elk who are returning their gaze. In the foreground, a moss-covered log hosts a winter wren, shelf fungus, orchids,
and a bright yellow banana slug. Below them, the illustration hints at the richness of life
below ground.
BROCHURE TEXT
Olympic National Park protects the largest old-growth forest in the Pacific Northwest. Its unique character begins with ancient trees that took root 200 to 1,000 years ago. In these forests multi-layered canopies, standing snags, and fallen trunks provide habitat for myriad animals. Differences in moisture (from 40 to 240 inches annually), and changes in elevation (from sea-level to 7,980 feet) create a mosaic of forests in the park. Temperate rain forests grow along the coast and in ocean-facing valleys. Lowland, montane, and subalpine forests cloak other park areas. Olympic supports complex forest communities—a gift from the past.
ILLUSTRATION DESCRIPTION
Above the rain forest at the top of the illustration, the mountain environment can be found. The mountains in the background are covered in glaciers and snow and loom over a small, springtime mountain valley and rocky outcrop below. From the left, clouds and fog are beginning to tumble into the valley to obscure the bright blue sky while two ravens fly away from that approaching storm. Columbine, penstemons, primroses, lupines, lilies, and shooting stars bloom in abundance among the shrubbery of the valley. A hummingbird is buzzing among the smorgasbord of flowers. Perched atop the rocky outcrop, a single marmot watches over the mountain valley while a mountain lion hides among the rocky outcrop. Perhaps it has noticed the two people watching a waterfall from a bridge. A black bear walks along the valley's edge toward a small alpine lake at the bottom of the valley. In the distance, two people walk on a trail crossing the valley. They walk below a black-tailed deer that is grazing with her fawn.
BROCHURE TEXT
A world of landscapes unfolds here: glaciers chisel U-shaped valleys, and brilliantly colored wildflowers blanket subalpine meadows. Geologists still debate the origins of the Olympics. Some 50 million years ago lava gushed from underwater rips in the edge of the continent, hardening into miles-thick layers of basalt. Later, an immense submerged delta of sandstone and shale formed farther out in the ocean. These layered rocks slowly rode back to the continent and jammed beneath the basalts, forcing the Olympics to rise from the sea 10 to 20 million years ago. Ice-age glaciers helped carve the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound, separating the Olympics from nearby lands. Years of isolation nurtured the rich biodiversity of the Peninsula, where over 20 plants and animals are found nowhere else on Earth. The rugged Olympic Mountains—a gift from the sea.
This is a partial list of plants and animals in the illustration. The list is organized by the text sections of Coast, Forests, Mountains, and moves generally from top to bottom of each section. You can learn more about these plants and animals from various sources on the internet.

A half-inch black banner crosses the top of the page and includes two headlines in bold white type: “Planning Your Visit to Olympic National Park” and “Getting Around the Park." Below each headline is text related to that title. These text components are described separately, after the map component.
A map of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state covers the entire side of the brochure, and will be described next.
The purpose of the map is to display park features, park
visitor services, and park orientation. It also helps with wayfinding, locating
historical information, and providing geographic and topographic information.
SHORT DESCRIPTION
The main map shows the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state, which is bounded on the west by the Pacific Ocean, north by the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and east by Puget Sound (not shown). The national park occupies 1,440 square miles at the center of the peninsula and in a strip along the Pacific coast. US 101 encircles most of the park.
The map is oriented north.
The map covers the entire side of the brochure, but allows room for four components that will be described separately. At the top are two sections, “Planning Your Visit” and “Getting Around the Park.” The legend and advisory text occupy the lower left corner of the page. Information about the park’s wilderness area occupies the lower right corner.
Bright green boxes point to and label visitor centers, main ranger stations, and other information locations. The park’s main visitor center is outside the park, in the town of Port Angeles on the north coast. Two other visitor centers, Hurricane Ridge and Hoh Rain Forest, serve visitors inside the park and are described more fully in the long description. Ranger stations and smaller visitor areas serve visitors along the west coast and in three other locations.
The map depicts the park’s boundaries, trails, features, roads, and visitor resources. The entire northern coast of the Olympic Peninsula is at the top of the map. The shape of the main park is roughly circular with its southwest edge extending along the Queets River valley almost to the Pacific coast. A long, narrow section of the park runs north to south along the coast. The upper portions of the western and eastern shores of the peninsula are on the left and right sides of the map. The park boundary encompasses the middle of the Olympic Peninsula and also encompasses the west coast of the peninsula. The park is approximately 1,440 square miles.
Three major population centers lie along the northern coast of the peninsula, Port Angeles, Sequim, and Port Townsend. All three population centers are located on the northeastern corner of the peninsula. Seven Indian reservations are located around the park. Moving around the peninsula like a clock, the Quinault Indian Reservation is at 7 o'clock, the Hoh Indian Reservation is at 8 o'clock, the Quileute Indian Reservation at 9 o'clock, the Ozette Indian Reservation at 10 o'clock, Makah Indian Reservation at 11 o'clock, Lower Elwha Klallam Indian Reservation at 12, and the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe at 2 o'clock. Most of the reservations and towns are connected by US 101, which encircles the bulk of Olympic National Park. The Quileute, Ozette, and Makah reservations are connected to US 101 by state roads.
The park has several visitor centers and ranger stations. Olympic National Park Visitor Center, which is also the Wilderness Information Center, is north of the park in the town of Port Angeles. Visitor centers and ranger stations within the park are described using the clockface analogy: Clockwise around the park’s boundary beginning at 7 o'clock is the Quinault Rain Forest Ranger Station, at 9 o'clock is the Hoh Rain Forest Visitor Center, at 11 o'clock is the Storm King Ranger Station, at 12 o'clock is the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center, and at 5 o'clock is the Staircase Ranger Station. The Kalaloch Ranger Station is located in the narrow section along the coast, at the southern end.
The park is surrounded by the Olympic National Forest to the east and to the south. The national forest also bisects the park’s western-most edge and splits the park into two distinct sections; a narrow coastal beach that runs north-south along the peninsula’s coast, and the bulk of the park to the east. The national forest that surrounds the park has several labeled wilderness areas. On the southern border of the park are the Colonel Bob, Wonder Mountain, and Mount Skokomish wilderness areas. On the eastern border of the park are the Brothers and Buckhorn wildernesses.
Three lakes lie along the border of Olympic National Park. Lake Crescent lies to the north, Lake Quinault to the southwest, and Lake Cushman to the southeast.
Several rivers crisscross the park. The most prominent are the Bogachiel River, Hoh River, Queets River, Quinalt River, Dosewallips River, Gray Wolf River, Elwha River, and the Sol Duc River. Dozens of smaller creeks feed into these rivers.
Olympic National Park includes dozens of high mountain peaks between 5,000 and 8,000 feet in elevation. Mount Olympus is the highest at 7,980 feet and is located roughly in the center of the park. Other prominent peaks are Mount Carrie, Mount Christie, O’Neil Peak, Mount Deception, Elk Mountain, and Mount Angeles.
Dashed and dotted lines indicate the multitude of trails strewn across the park. None are named on this map. Obtain more information about these trails at one of the visitor centers or on the park website (www.nps.gov/olym).
The next section of description is a list of visitor services and recreational opportunities. It is followed by a list and description of the icons used to show their locations on the map.
