Narrated Soundscapes are a collaboration of Braille Institute Library, National Parks Service Rangers, Library of Congress sound-designers and National Library Services network librarians.

Narrated Soundscapes take you on pre-recorded, immersive audio journeys through the landscapes of national parks, with narration provided by some of the NLS' own network library staff.

Learn how you can continue the journey through the rest of the National Parks.
