Join Disabled Hikers for a casual gathering and wheelchair accessible hike at one of four redwoods parks in Northern California!
You are invited to Disabled Hikers first group hikes in California! Syren is working on an accessible travel guide with Save the Redwoods League. This will be a great opportunity to gather with other people who are disabled in the outdoors and learn about trail assessments from Syren.
Our events are disability-led and disability-centered. Group hikes are supportive experiences; we adjust the hike to meet everyone’s needs and take a break whenever someone needs one. It is a safe space to share your access needs before and during the gathering.

Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, Santa Cruz ($10 parking fee)
Time: early afternoon
