Accessibility within Yellowstone
Many park facilities and major
areas of interest, such as Old Faithful, Mammoth Hot Springs,
Canyon, Grant Village, Madison and Norris, have been judged to
be negotiable by wheelchair users without assistance. These
areas are described in the pamphlet, Visitors Guide to
Accessible Features in Yellowstone National Park. The guide
provides information about wheelchair availability, accessible
fishing and backcountry campsites, and special programs offered
to disabled persons. It's available free online and at all
visitor centers in the park. For more information, write to:
