Located near North Cascades National Park (emerginghorizons.com/barrier-free-travel-washington-national-parks-for-wheelers-and-slow-walkers/), Marblemount is a good place to stop on a Washington state road trip. And since there are no hotels in the park, it’s also a good place to spend the night. The Buffalo Run Inn has a wheelchair accessible room that’s furnished with a queen-sized bed, and includes a bathroom with a roll-in shower. And although there is a two-inch lip on the shower, because of the placement of the built-in shower bench, it’s still possible to transfer. While you’re in the area, be sure to check out the accessible trails in the park near Newhalem. Top picks include the Sterling Munro Boardwalk (.5 mile), To Know a Tree Nature Trail (.5 mile) and the Trail of the Cedars (.3 mile). And don’t miss one of Marblemount’s most unusual attractions — the Wildwood Chapel. This tiny chapel seats just nine people, and it’s a scenic photo op.
