Outdoors for all?
America’s public lands are intended for everyone, regardless of their physical ability or lack thereof. But despite the ADA and nationwide efforts from both state and federal agencies to expand access to people with disabilities, the reality is that many trails, like in this video are not inclusive to all – yet.
