About the event

Join us for a casual, accessible hike at Miller Peninsula State Park. We will take the 0.4 mile long Trailhead Loop, hang out at picnic table, and enjoy time in nature with other disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent folks!


Please read all of the below information. Full details, including directions and meeting location, will be emailed to you after registration.


Trail Description

Trailhead Loop: 0.4 mile, firm gravel and natural surface, flat with a couple of short inclines and cross slopes of 5% or less. It is most accessible to power wheelchair users, all terrain wheelchair users, and experienced manual wheelchair users or people with assistance, as well as people using walkers, canes, and other mobility aids. There are no benches on the trail. The trail was redesigned to meet general accessibility standards by Back Country Horsemen of Washington Peninsula Chapter.


Note: we will assess conditions of the trail a few days before the hike; if weather or other conditions impact the accessibility, we will change the location and notify everyone who registered.


Amenities

Accessible vault toilets, picnic table, accessible horse mounting station. 

Pets

Service dogs are always welcome. Pets are discouraged to prevent potential accessibility conflicts.

Cost

There is no fee to attend. A Discover Pass is required, unless you have a permanent disabled parking tag - we can provide one for you if you need it.

Masks and Scent-free

We practice Covid and illness transmission safety at all of our events. We ask everyone to wear a mask unless your disability prevents it, or when you need a break. Please distance from those who do wear a mask when you are not. We also ask that you not wear perfume and other artificial or natural scents to protect community members who are scent-reactive.

Parking

Paved parking lot with one van accessible spot.

Transportation

There is no weekend public transportation to the park. We may be able to help coordinate carpooling. Please let us know at registration if you need transportation assistance.

Interpreters

ASL, Spanish, and other languages interpreters are available on request; please allow 2 weeks to coordinate. If you have a preferred interpreter, please include their contact information when you register!


About Disabled Hikers

Disabled Hikers is an inclusive disability-led and disability-centered organization grounded in principles of disability justice. We welcome anyone who is disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent, or otherwise has lived experience of disability – we define these terms in the broadest way possible. We also welcome supportive friends and family. The group hikes together; we adapt the hike to match the needs of everyone present, rest when needed, and make decisions about when to turn back as a group. All of our events include a moment to honor the land and Indigenous peoples and group introductions. There is never any pressure to share anything.


Other things to keep in mind:

Please read the hike description. Trails are chosen to be as enjoyable as possible for the most folks, but only you can decide if a hike is appropriate for you.

Please do not offer anyone advice or assistance without asking first.

If you have questions at any time, please ask. We’re here for you!
