In Transit Blog: A New Guide to the Grand Canyon by Wheelchair

Written By Unknown on Rabu, 25 Juni 2014 | 17.35

Wheelchair users might not think of the Grand Canyon as a place to visit comfortably, but the accessible-travel writer Candy Harrington says it can be done in "Barrier-Free Travel: The Grand Canyon for Wheelers and Slow Walkers."

The book highlights accessible trails, sites and lodging options on the north and south rims; includes access details about the Grand Canyon Railway; and provides hard-to-find access information about Grand Canyon West.

Although it is directed at travelers with mobility limitations, parents with stroller-age children may also appreciate the information on easy-to-maneuver walking paths and stair-free entrances.

Ms. Harrington also describes and photographs specific accessible rooms at the various park hotels, including the historic El Tovar and the adjacent and newer Kachina Lodge, which, she points out, is the only property in the park with an elevator.

For visitors touring by car, the guide provides directions to accessible walkways and restrooms at several popular park overlooks, and for those not wanting to drive, it includes a list of narrated bus tours equipped for wheelchairs.

For travelers who want to reach the bottom of the canyon but can't traverse the trail down to Phantom Ranch from the South Rim, Ms. Harrington shares information about the little-known 19.5-mile driving route to the bottom of the canyon, reached by traveling through land owned by the Hualapai Tribe.

A package deal is available that includes a picnic lunch, driving permit and overnight lodging at the Hualapai Lodge, where Ms. Harrington praises the accessible parking, level entrance and Room 117.
