    ROAD TO HURRICANE RIDGE!

    Hear naturalists, park rangers, tribal elders plus professional narration

      As you listen, you'll discover the history, geology, ecology and American Indian culture of the Olympic Peninsula, the northwestern most corner of the contagious United States. You'll hear naturalists, park rangers, tribal elders plus professional narration, music and natural sounds recorded on location in Olympic National Park, a World Heritage site and International Biosphere Reserve. This 50 minute audio tour was designed as an audio driving guide for the Road to Hurricane Ridge on the Olympic Peninsula.

      If you are lucky enough to have access and are able to drive the actual route, this is a soundtrack for what you'll see outside your window as you travel up 3500 in elevation, through uplifted prehistoric sea-bottom, to the Visitor Center atop Hurricane Ridge. No matter where you are when you listen to the program, you'll learn how the Olympic Peninsula was formed, how the most recent Ice Age (only 10,000 years ago) shaped this place and how salmon and cedar have guided the people here for more than 5000 years. At home, in schools and libraries, listeners gain new understandings about the significance of this World Heritage site and Biological Reserve, as designated by the United Nations.

      Many areas of interest are explored by naturalist and poet Tim McNulty and National Park Service specialists. You learn about the ecology, anthropology, geology and cultural heritage of this unique area. The information, peer reviewed by the National Park Service and other experts, is presented in an interpretive and engaging style. Many legends, such as the Great Flood, and stories about Thunderbird and Killer Whale are told by tribal elders Chris Morganroth III and Ben Charles. The natural sounds were recorded on location and are sounds heard often during a visit. An audio documentary for the ear.
