California Parks Access: A Complete Guide to the State and National Parks for Visitors With Limited Mobility [Paperback]

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Since California is a major tourist destination, this reference should find a receptive audience. The authors cover every state and national park in California for the physically challenged tourist. The wealth of information and detail presented ranges from the special programs offered by parks for handicapped visitors to the placement of support bars in restrooms. Since California Governor Pete Wilson recently curtailed hours of operation in many state parks, the authors wisely opt to give contact telephone numbers instead of outdated hours. Highly recommended for regional libraries, libraries serving the physically challenged, and large public libraries.

This review is from: California Parks Access: A Complete Guide to the State and National Parks for Visitors With Limited Mobility (Paperback)

I never realized how much (and how little) our state parks have to offer those of us who have mobility limitations. The Mitchell's have taken the time to visit every park in their book - and it shows. I was especially impressed with the detailed descriptions of trails and points of interest. Now I have a very good idea of whether I will be able to enjoy each park. Most importantly, I know which parks I do not want to miss.
Thanks for your efforts and awareness of the needs of wheelchair users and others with limitations.
