Many of us head out for a day in the mountains with a trail in mind—the more challenging, the better. But for people with a disability, whether intellectual or physical, enjoying an adventure in the great outdoors often takes a lot more planning.
Considerations like trail width, grade, terrain, crowds—and the assistive equipment needed to navigate these aspects—are all factors that a person with a mobility issue must address before even arriving at a trailhead.
Organizations like Outdoors for All are changing the narrative when it comes to outdoor accessibility. Founded in 1979 and based in Seattle, Outdoors for All works to make adaptive and assistive therapeutic recreation more available for adults and children.
