Accessibility

Park facilities are wheelchair accessible, including the parking areas, the visitor center, and restrooms. 

The trail is negotiable by wheelchair but is not ADA-compliant.  Some assistance is required to navigate steep sections, narrow sections, and bumps.  Motorized scooters are allowed on the trail, but users must use extreme caution; sharp turns, steep slopes and dropoffs present hazards.  Some scooters may not fit along the cliffline portion of the trail.

Wheelchairs are available at the visitor center.
