Barrier-free Trails |
https://www.wta.org/go-outside/seasonal-hikes/summer-destinations/ada-accessible-hikes Finding a wheelchair-friendly trail can be challenging. In addition to general information about what you see along the way, wheelchair hikers need to know things like the cross slope (it can affect how a chair performs.) They also need to know the type of surface they’ll be traveling on, and the angle of the trail itself — how steep is it? Trails don’t have to specifically be designated ADA-accessible to be wheelchair friendly, but it helps. If they don’t meet ADA requirements but they’re wide enough for a wheelchair, trails are called ‘barrier-free’. That means that in ideal maintenance conditions, a wheelchair hiker could navigate their way along the route. We’ve compiled this list of our favorite barrier-free hikes, though there are many more out there. Get inspired, head out, and of course write a trip report when you’re back! While this list has been assembled with wheelchair-hikers in mind, it’s a useful resource if you’re hiking with a stroller or walker as well. | 06/22/2023 | Aging & Disability, Community Resources | aging-disability disaster-resources | |||||||

People over age 50 are especially vulnerable and account for over half of all victims, according to a study conducted by AARP. People who commit these types of crimes, “con criminals,” often target older people knowing they have spent a lifetime earning their savings. Con criminals go wherever they can to find money to steal. They use everyday tools—the mailbox, the telephone, the Internet—to reach into your pocketbook. You can help educate your friends, parents, and others by becoming familiar with some of the more common scams and how they operate. Then share that information with others.
