New Death Valley Wheelchair Access Guide Released
RIPON, CA – September 1, 2020 – Now that Death Valley National Park has largely reopened after the Covid-19 shutdown, accessible travel expert Candy B. Harrington announces the release of her latest guidebook, Barrier-Free Travel; Death Valley National Park for Wheelers and Slow Walkers. Part of Harrington’s popular national park series, this handy resource offers detailed access information on Death Valley National Park for wheelchair-users and slow walkers. This access guide contains:
- Access details on all trails, attractions, and scenic drives
- Photos and descriptions of all accessible in-park lodging options
- Wheelchair-accessible attractions in gateway cities
- Fly-drive resources, including the location of nearby airports, and the availability of wheelchair-accessible van rentals
- Information on special access passes, discounts and permits
Known for her attention to detail, Harrington goes well beyond just stating that the park lodges are wheelchair-accessible in her new title. “Most travelers don’t understand access regulations – they only know what works for them. That’s why I’ve included essential access details such as bed heights and the location of the toilet grab bars in the book,” says Harrington. “And with the recent $100 million renovation and access upgrades at The Inn at Death Valley and The Ranch at Death Valley, these properties are attractive – and accessible – choices for wheelchair-users and slow walkers,” she adds.
Although this inclusive title was written for wheelchair-users and slow walkers, stroller moms will also appreciate the access information in this guide.
Known as the go-to expert on accessible travel, Candy Harrington has covered this niche exclusively for nearly 25 years. She’s the founding editor of Emerging Horizons and the author of several accessible travel titles, including the classic, Barrier-Free Travel: A Nuts and Bolts Guide for Wheelers and Slow Walkers.
Barrier-Free Travel; Death Valley National Park for Wheelers and Slow Walkers ($9.95, ISBN: 978-0-9985103-7-8) is available at your favorite book seller.
