About this resource

About

WheelchairTraveling.com launched in 2006 and has grown into one of the largest accessible destination databases of its kind, built on two decades of personal and community travel experience. Site creator Ashley Lyn Olson has personally visited more than 20 countries, 29 US states, and 37 US National Parks using a wheelchair, supplementing her reviews with contributions from the wider wheelchair travel community.

What It Does

The site provides destination reviews covering terrain, pathway surfaces, accessible restrooms, adaptive equipment availability, and practical tips at parks, trails, cities, and attractions. It includes dedicated guides for accessible cruises, wheelchair-friendly camping, and outdoor adventure—travel categories that mainstream platforms rarely address well. All content is grounded in real, on-the-ground experience rather than accessibility claims made by venues.

Who It Helps

WheelchairTraveling.com is designed for wheelchair users, power-chair users, scooter users, and people with mobility disabilities who want experience-based guidance for outdoor recreation, national park visits, city breaks, or cruise travel.
