Opening California’s trails and beaches to the disabled community, for free
We help parks launch accessible programs, from off-road chairs to guided hikes, so everyone can get outside.

The problem:
Californians live with a mobility disability
$20k+
cost of 1 off-road wheelchair
Few
parks have a program for them
California has some of the best parks, trails and beaches in the world. For most people with mobility disabilities, getting there means a $20,000 chair and a program that doesn't exist yet. We're changing that.
