This survey tool helps document trail conditions specifically for individuals with mobility considerations, focusing on unpaved trails that are often overlooked in traditional accessibility assessments. Your careful observations will help others make informed decisions about which trails they can access, and what to expect when they do.

Do you share our ideal of an inclusive community where everybody can explore and adventure together? Then let’s build it together! By participating and crowd-sourcing information, we can break down barriers, increase accessibility awareness and aim more inclusive wild spaces.

Surface Conditions: Pay special attention to:

• Trail width (note sections narrower than 32 inches)

• Surface material (gravel, dirt, rocks, etc.)

• Stability of the surface

• Obstacles or barriers

Grade and Cross Slope:

• Note any challenging inclines

• Identify areas where the trail tilts sideways

• Mark locations where extra assistance might be needed

Access Points:

• Document parking area conditions

• Note distance from parking to trailhead

• Identify any barriers at the trailhead (gates, steps, etc.)

Rest Areas:

• Mark locations of benches or natural resting spots

• Note shade availability

• Document distance between rest areas

Safety Considerations:

• Cell phone coverage

• Emergency access points

• Distance from facilities or assistance

• Other safety considerations such as road crossings
