Disability community and justice in the outdoors
Who We Are
Disabled Hikers is an entirely Disabled-led organization. We celebrate disabled people’s experiences in the outdoors. We help facilitate those experiences with information, resources, and events, including trail guides and group hikes. We are also committed advocates for justice, access, and inclusion, and work with parks, organizations, brands, and more.
We challenge the dominant narrative of who is considered to be valid and which experiences matter in the outdoors. Whether enjoying the outdoors means sitting by your window or thru-hiking a trail, you are welcome here.

What Sets Us Apart
There are an endless number of blogs and guidebooks out there about the outdoors, giving hikers access to information about trail conditions, difficulty, and directions, but there is one problem:
The majority of the information out there assumes that the person reading it isn’t disabled.
This website is different.
Written by disabled hikers for disabled hikers, we give you information that other guides overlook.
Our descriptions include detailed information for every stage of hiking - from getting to the trail, amenities and accessibility information, trail conditions using our signature Spoon Rating System, and more.
