[QUOTE="Noobie, post: 3030985, member: 127485"] It is a state park and they provide the wheelchairs free, which can be used on 'designated trails'. We rock climb in the area and there are spectacular vertical quartzite cliffs that draw climbers from all over. There are also large crevices overgrown by vegetation that the unwary could step into and fall a long ways. We saw a couple of elderly tourists taking photos near the bluff and advised them to return to the trail the exactly way they came in (after I told the guy to take one more step back for a better picture ;) Anyway, it is probably a good idea to keep people on the trails there since it is a pretty small area and, obviously, heavily trafficked by tracked chairs. That being said, if there was a disabled climber requiring a wheelchair and not using their chairs, the rangers probably wouldn't have a leg to stand on. The other feature that park is the large herd of bison that roam freely on the upper plains. There are trails into the upper area and bison can be very aggressive. People will do stupid things though, wheelchair or not. [/QUOTE]
