Hiking enthusiast details locations where people with chronic illness and disabilities can manage to log miles in the great outdoors
I was well into adulthood when I realized that hiking was an activity that I could participate in. I grew up with multiple disabilities and chronic illnesses and thought being “outdoorsy” was only for able-bodied people. I couldn’t find information about hiking as a disabled person, so I spent a lot of time trying to figure it out for myself.
Access to nature is so important for our well-being. Everyone deserves to experience it — and those with disabilities can, on these accessible adventures.Northern California’s redwood country is one of my favorite places. Coast redwoods are the world’s tallest trees, and one can’t help but feel humbled by them. Redwood National and State Parks, which are in Yurok and Tolowa ancestral territory, include forests, prairie ecosystems and coastline, much of it accessible.
The trailhead begins near the parking lot entrance at the Rainy Pass Trailhead, which has several accessible parking spots, vault toilets and water in the summer.
