Access for All: Touring the Southwest with Limited Mobility

by Deborah Wall, Dennis Boulton

This book guides people with limited mobility who wish to visit the most stunning scenic outdoor attractions in four Southwestern states. Directions with measured driving distances and walking distances enable visitors to choose those sites which best suit their needs. The Grand Canyon, Death Valley, scenic drives in Utah and Nevada, and many sites in between are described from the point of view of those with limited mobility. Parks and campgrounds with suitable accommodations are an important focus, as are whether restrooms and hotel rooms are accessible, and whether a walkway to a viewpoint is suitable for wheelchairs or walkers.
