Welcome to Great Wheelchair Accessible Hikes.com!
My name is Chris, and I'm a hiker and high school student from California. I've created this website to share information with other hikers about great, not just fair, wheelchair accessible hikes. To me, a great hike includes the following things: a hard surface such as pavement, cement, plank, packed dirt or gravel over a hard surface (not sand or deep gravel); free from ruts and rocks; wide enough for a wheelchair or scooter to pass through easily; minimal or gradual elevation change; and beautiful or interesting scenery. The trails listed here are ones I or other contributors enjoy hiking over and over again. I put red asterisks next to trails that are my favorites.
My hope is for this website to become a valued resource for other hikers. In order to build the site, I will continue to add more great hikes from around the U.S. and other countries. I will also include recommendations from other hikers. So if you have a favorite hike, please send me information and I'll add it to the website. There must be lots of amazing, accessible hikes out there; we just need to share the information. We have a request for accessible New York trail information. If you can help, please do!
Before I sign off, I'd like to thank my friend Matt for all his assistance.
Enjoy!
Chris
