Accessibility
Wheelchair friendly Whether a trail is wheelchair-friendly depends on a variety of factors, including trail width, grade, cross-slope, what materials the trail is made of, and whether land managers have designated it accessible. This designation is made when trails are under optimal maintenance conditions, so seasonal changes or deferred maintenance may change how wheelchair-friendly a trail is. Indicating a trail is wheelchair-friendly does not mean it meets ADA standards.

Rivers

Here's an unusual hike through a very mossy forest and along a narrow river canyon, past sites that were important in local history. A railroad once ran along the canyon, passing through small communities. Logging was done in the area, and lime once was produced from limestone here, in a kiln that still stands. The railroad and communities are gone now, and much has disappeared over the past eighty years. But a few artifacts still remain and can be seen near the trail.
