These programs are wheelchair accessible with assistance. Wheelchairs are available for loan at the Visitor Center at Canyon View Information Plaza. For programs meeting at the Visitor Center, handicap access is by wheelchair or accessibility shuttle from the Mather Point parking lot.

These family-oriented programs are ideal for meeting the ranger program requirement for the Grand Canyon’s Junior Ranger award. Any ranger program, however, will meet the requirement on page 2 of the Junior Ranger Activity Booklet.
