#US - #Wheelchair #AccessibleTrails

Explore wheelchair accessible trails on #TrailLink.

"Use our comprehensive trail guides with descriptions, photos, and reviews to plan your next wheelchair accessible trail adventure.

Here you'll find long-distance trails in both remote regions of the West and in populated parts of the East and Midwest.

Many routes listed on TrailLink are wheelchair accessible trails, providing not only recreation but safe pathways for wheelchair users and others with special mobility needs. While standards for #ADACompliance on wheelchair trails are not uniform, many trail management groups do make wheelchair accessibility a priority. Our criteria for trail accessibility consider the trail's grade, surface, and width as well as its access points.

Routes noted as wheelchair trails on this website generally have an asphalt or concrete surface, although some crushed limestone trails are also suitable for wheelchairs. We try to note convenient access points and accessible parking facilities. However, not all trails marked as wheelchair friendly are accessible throughout the entire trail's length. When in doubt, check the links provided with a particular trail (under "Related Content" on the trail description page) to see if it truly is a wheelchair accessible trail.

The trail description on TrailLink should indicate where sections are not wheelchair accessible, but again, some don't simply because we may not have that information. We do rely on local trail users, so let us know the details if you encounter useful information—or misinformation!

All trails listed on TrailLink are multiuse, so keep in mind the common right-of-way rules of thumb, unless otherwise posted on the trail: wheelchair users yield to horses.

Explore wheelchair trails and wheelchair trail maps on TrailLink and use our comprehensive trail guides with descriptions, photos, and reviews to plan your next outdoor adventure. Use our filter search feature to find accessible trails that meet your needs and tastes.

Though we try to provide the most up-to-date information wheelchair accessible trails, we don't always get it right. If you find any errors on TrailLink, please let us know by clicking on the "edit this trail" link and giving us updates; include as many details as possible.

Also, you can help your fellow wheelchair trail users by posting a review of the trail and noting accessibility details that will prove useful for their journey."

Cafe staffed by robots piloted by people with #disabilities to open in #Tokyo

By Toby M, Mar. 5, 2021

"#OriHime is a charming Japanese robot. Like most robots made in Japan, it’s full of circuitry, programming chips, and has an exterior human-like shell. Though in OriHime’s case, it’s more #WallE than terminator thanks to the soft edges and large babyish eyes.

"The interior of OriHime is also intrinsically human in many ways that its robot brethren are not. OriHime’s purpose is to be a vessel that empowers people who have difficulty going outside or moving due to severe disabilities or illnesses such as #ALS to connect with everyday society and people within. Practically speaking, the robot can support people who are bed bound to connect with distant family, or work a job for example.

"Since 2018, people with disabilities have taken up opportunities to work as cafe staff through OriHime in the pop-up cafe 'Avatar Cafe DAWN ver.β'. Avatar Cafe DAWN seeks to eliminate human loneliness by enabling people who are bed or house bound to enjoy working as cafe staff and communicating with customers."

Get Out and #ExploreNature in #NewJersey

"Find an #Accessible #Park or #NaturalArea

We’ve compiled a directory of parks and natural and scenic areas throughout the state that are accessible for people with disabilities. We’ve included trails and nature sites that have firm and even surfaces for individuals with #mobility concerns, #BrailleTrails and #AudioResources for #blind or #LowVision visitors, nature sites that offer #InclusiveProgramming, sites with #AdaptiveAmenities, and equipment to make visitor experiences more enjoyable. We are evaluating and adding new sites, so be sure to check back or sign up for email updates."

Well, that about wraps up #SolarPunkSunday. Next week I'll be posting about #Homeremedies for #BugBites and other issues, and will also focus on #DisabilityInclusion in #SolarPunk. I might do another location focus as well. Keep your eyes out for a poll with some possible locations. Boosting related posts and re-posting a few things. TY to everyone who participated, especially @MaQuest !

I was a beta tester for this app, and it is simply INCREDIBLE.

If you would like to understand the benefits available to you and your disabled loved-one, this tool will help you generate a list of things to follow though on. It's localized for each state in the USA, because the benefits available vary from state to state.
