We always start a national park visit at the visitor center. It’s a great way to get an overview of the park and connect with someone who can break down accessibility features and help you plan your trip.

When it was my turn to approach the counter, I asked the ranger to recommend his favorite accessible trails and views. He looked at me for a second and then said, “We don’t have any accessible trails.”

Yikes! As we began discussing possible options, he did remember the recent upgrades to Jenny Lake to allow wheelchair access. We scoured the map and couldn’t find anything else that looked accessible.
