Hiking with a disability can take more planning before hitting the trail. Is the trail paved? Are there any steep hills? Is there accessible parking? Avocation Therapy uses AllTrails to help our clients get outside. AllTrails has over 4,000 trails with accessibility information. It helps us plan a successful trip and focus on the therapeutic benefits of nature.
