Not to nitpick, but there doesn’t seem to be short rails on the sides of some of the wooden trails. Be real easy to roll or slide off if the wood is wet.

If you’re looking for a wheelchair, scooter accessible nature experience in the Seattle area, this is it. 🙂 https://youtu.be/KJSZjNMuLbY

Great to see a wheelchair user on the trail as well. Thanks for the accessibility info!
Congrats on getting a sponsor too!

VERY cool but… no thanks!

So basically hang gliding with a wheelchair adds tripod wheeled landing gear. Hmmm… landing with a prosthetic leg would be more risky. The socket would get jammed against the stump hard.

We found the Badlands accessible enough for our family. Although not everywhere is accessible very nice boardwalks in the Badlands. We saw wildlife and amazing views without leaving our car.

The Black Hills are great. We didn’t do everything because some of the trails were to much for us but we saw so much from our car. It was amazing.
