    Thank you so much for this video. I'm 67 and in losing my ability to get around much. I need to shop only in stores that have mobility scooters available. I really am not ready to stop doing things like vacations and camping so this video has been a blessing to me in giving ideas of things I will be able to do. Thanks for sharing your video.

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I am full time wheelchair user and ventured out to an ‘accessible’ state park. Knew going in that most would not be. Frankly I was surprised to find out that any was. Drove for 4 hours to discover that ‘accessible’ actually meant I could travel around part of the top of the gorge traversing a parking lot which meant looking down into the tops of trees and in distance (when parking cars allowed) hear a waterfall. Haven’t tried since that fiasco. Now I have a list of places that I can visit and not be relegated to sitting in parking lots waiting for companions that hurry through to get back to me.

    I have severe mobility issues. I appreciate the effort here, and some of the information is useful (wheelchair adaptive shuttle buses, campsites, and facilities.) However, much of what I am hearing is to stay in the car and drive around, or perhaps go to the visitors centre. That might be comparatively less inaccessible, but it isn't accessible! In one case 100 yards of a much longer path amounts to an accessible National Park? I don't think so. I don't want to go all the way to see a National Park just to stay in the car. The list of low mobility friendly parks you list should really be limited to those you can get out and roll at, like parts of Yosemite. A park hasn't taken measures if you can't get out of your vehicle while others more abled can.

    Thank you for this amazing list of accessible travel spots. 💞 As a person with a spinal cord injury of fifteen years, my husband and I are always looking for handicap accessible travel where I can enjoy the area from my power chair. We especially enjoy vacationing in nature. Some of these spots will definitely be added to our bucket list; with Joshua Tree going to the top for the upcoming summer season. Thanks again and God bless. 💞🙏

    It's pronounced "choy-ah." And cholla is one NASTY cactus.

    I guess common sense is not so common but the biggest thing you guys left out your video is where in the heck are these towns. It seems like every place you all mention there are multiple locations in multiple states. For instance at the beginning of each place you could’ve just simply said this is Theodore national park in whatever town you all visited so simple. I got so exhausted from stopping the video and trying to look up these places you all are talking about just to find out that they’re in multiple states I just stop watching the video.
