Trail Access Project now offers scheduled adaptive hiking TerrainHopper experiences on backcountry trails in high-elevation mountainous terrain near Las Vegas. There you can experience the healing power of being in nature. Places like you've thought you would never ever experience again.
The TerrainHopper is a quiet, 4-wheel-drive wheelchair. It has four electric motors, four-wheel suspension, and can be controlled by either handlebars or by joystick to fit the hiker’s needs. It is a rock crawler with 10 inches off ground clearance. Maximum speed is 4 mph. The side rails raise so you can transfer in to the rotating seat from either side. We offer seasonal hiking events at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area during the cooler months and at higher elevations of Lee Canyon in summer. On the Lower Bristlecone Trail we climb up to alpine elevations to 9,200 feet in the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area. We have two of these amazing machines provided by grants from the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation and the National Environmental Education Foundation. Plan to provide your transportation to the site from Las Vegas and a trusted transfer assistant. Click below for announcements of dates. |
