One of the most common questions we get is whether a trail is wheelchair friendly. We are so excited to share with you over 30 trails that are accessible to wheelchairs. We want everyone to have the chance to experience the outdoors, especially in our great state of Utah. We hope that this list of wheelchair friendly trails in Utah helps your family enjoy time together, too!
We will try to clarify if this path is completely paved, or just flat enough for a wheelchair to make, so that you can plan your hike accordingly. You can also click on the name of the hike, and it will provide more information and our full review.
