Emerging Horizons: Spring 2014

The Spring 2014 issue of Emerging Horizons contains access information, travel tips and handy resources for wheelchair-users and slow walkers. This “Spring Break and Beyond” issue is packed with access details on destinations, lodging options and tours; and offers industry updates, resources and helpful tips for planning wheelchair-accessible vacations.

From a completely accessible B&B on Wisconsin’s Door Peninsula, to a secluded retreat on Vancouver Island, and a historic beachfront property near San Diego, there’s an accessible lodging choice for just about everyone.

Also included is information on a bevy of accessible attractions in Tillamook, Oregon; as well as details about a little known driving tour through Grand Staircase-Escalante National Park.

If you’d like to explore Alberta, then don’t miss the, “Banff and Beyond” feature. Not only does it include information about accessible sites in Banff, but it also highlights a cruise on Lake Minnewanka, a Lake Louise Trail and a tour across the Athabasca glacier -- all of which are wheelchair-accessible.

Also included is access information about a whale watching adventure in Tofino, a Glacier National Park driving itinerary, and a fun way to roll over the dunes at Great Sand Dunes National Park. And if you’ve ever wondered if the historic sites along the Natchez Trace Parkway are accessible, you’ll find the answer in the Curious Traveler column.

And speaking of resources, this issue also contains information on accessible tours in Scotland, a Canadian snowmobile adventure suitable for wheelchair-users, a unique resource for accessible transportation in Puerto Rico, and a new fleet of accessible taxis in Connecticut. In short, we’ve got everything you need to plan your next trip.

Detailed access information, helpful travel tips and useful resources — that’s what Emerging Horizons is all about.
