Glacier National Park, MT

Glacier National Park, MT

The idyllic sights in this national park—including mountain goats and grizzly bears—are worth the bit of extra planning it takes to find handicap-friendly viewpoints. To make it easier, the park offers free shuttles to various hot spots along the Going-to-the-Sun Road, including Jackson Glacier Overlook, Sun Point, and Rising Sun.

If you’re venturing without the help of the shuttle, there are a few other ADA-compliant destinations worth exploring: McDonald Falls has a paved route to the overlook; Logan Pass, the peak of the Going-to-the-Sun Road, has several paved trails and a visitor center; and Running Eagle Falls and Swiftcurrent Nature Trails are both short, stable-soil options. Of course, there are myriad accessible campgrounds, lodges, and visitor centers for your downtime, too.
