Accessibility at the National Park of American Samoa

While the National Park of American Samoa offers stunning landscapes and unique cultural experiences, accessibility is somewhat limited due to the rugged terrain and underdeveloped infrastructure.

• Scenic Overlooks: The Lower Sauma Ridge overlook is accessible with assistance, offering a beautiful vantage point for visitors. However, no other developed pullouts or overlooks are currently available, and most trails remain steep, rugged, and unimproved.

• General Accessibility: The territory as a whole is underdeveloped for accessibility, which may present challenges when traveling around the island. Visitors should plan accordingly and be prepared for uneven terrain and limited facilities in remote areas.

• Visitor Center and Restrooms: The visitor center and its restrooms are accessible, ensuring that visitors can still enjoy educational resources and basic facilities during their trip.
