Everyone belongs in a national park

Western National Parks and the National Park Service are steadfastly committed to making facilities, programs, and services accessible for visitors with disabilities. You can access park-specific accessibility information at the accessibility section on each park's website, where you'll find details about planning a trip to that park with accessibility needs in mind. 

The Access Pass

For US citizens or permanent residents of the US that have been medically determined to have a permanent disability (does not have to be a 100% disability), the Access Pass is a free lifetime pass that provides benefits at federal lands managed by six agencies. It includes free entrance to parks managed by the National Park Service that charge an entrance fee.
