Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail – Jan. 2023 Update

I’d like to start by thanking the Ice Age Floods Institute for letting the National Park Service share regular updates on Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail. I’m Justin Radford the Trail’s program manager and I look forward to sharing some of the work we are doing.

Last summer I had the chance to travel much of the “trail” from Missoula to Cape Disappointment. Having the opportunity to engage firsthand with the visitor experiences offered by our many partners and the amazing landscapes was certainly the highlight of the summer. Photos and stories from these site visits will bring enhancements to both the NPS App and our website in the future.

Last summer we also had our second annual Teacher training in Spokane, WA. 43 K-12 Teachers earned credit towards their teaching certificates by learning how to instruct with the story of the Missoula Floods in mind.

The calendar for 2023 is looking good. The NPS will be able to bring our traveling Ice Age Floods NGT and Lake Roosevelt NRA Mobile Visitor Center to more events like the Spokane Boat Show and the Sandhill Crane Festival this March in Othello, WA. We will be working to grow our connections with more groups across trail in 2023.

Thank you for your support as we continue to grow Ice Age Floods National Geologic Trail. I look forward to seeing you out on the trail.
